THE MOST POPULAR CITIES IN GERMANY AMONG LABOR MIGRANTS – WHERE IS THE JOB IN GERMANY?

More and more people decide to emigrate to smaller towns in Germany.
This is due to the lower costs, among others, for renting a flat/room, food and transport. However, you have to take into account that earnings will also be slightly lower, but this is not the rule. Here are some examples of smaller cities, popular with labor migrants.

If you live in Poland, Polish immigrants living close to the Polish-German border (e.g. in the vicinity of Szczecin), often decide to work in Germany and commute from Poland. Daily commuting may turn out to be a bit burdensome, but at the same time they guarantee higher earnings and slightly lower costs of living in Polish realities. This is a good option for people who do not want to part with their families.
