In recent years, significantly more foreign workers from outside the EU have temporarily come to Germany. At the end of 2021 there were a good 295,000 people who had a temporary residence permit for gainful employment. As reported by the Federal Statistical Office, the number has more than tripled within ten years. Foreigners who were living in Germany with a residence permit for gainful employment at the end of 2021 most often had Indian citizenship at eleven percent. Nationals from Bosnia-Herzegovina (nine percent) and Kosovo (seven percent) were also frequently represented. At the end of 2021, 24 percent of foreign workers were academic specialists with a so-called Blue Card.
