The number of German firms closing their doors for good rose last year by as much as 16% on the year to 196,100, the Creditreform agency and the ZEW economic research institute reported on Wednesday.

Germany is the second most important host country for international academics and researchers after the USA (that was in 2024, doubt the U.S. will be able to hold the pole position with the Florida man at the helm)
When you share sources you should address what I said and not post unrelated stuff like migrant workers amd students. They don’t stay. I’m talking about netto emigration.

When you share a source, you should read it before making conclusions based on the headline.
An English translation about the interview you linked:
Emphasis mine.
“The fraction of the people that were asked”. Who was asked? Also, how do you ask people that have already emigrated to another country and don’t plan to come back? Questionable methods. I’m only interested in the hard facts.
You can turn and twist it as much as you want. Fact is, there is a netto exodus of academics for economic reasons. And this has been going on for a while and not just yesterday.
Where do they go? Do you have any hard facts?
USA, Switzerland and Austria accounts for the majority of target countries. Around 60% if I remember correctly, correct me on that number if I’m wrong. Might be more than that. Emigration for economic reasons checks out though.
First, you post sources that contradict your own claims, and now you ‘remember’ numbers. I already corrected you, in part by using your own sources.
Such a debate is waste of time, bro. I end this discussion.

Netto exodus of 80.000 German citizens per year. And that or similar has been going on for more than a decade. Apparently they all intent to come back right? At some point? If not during the past 10+ years then when exactly is all of that majority coming back?
Also, no, my sources contradict my claims only partly. And I already explained why it’s nonsense: You can’t ask already permanently emigrated people whether they want to return. And as I explained above: if the majority intends to return and that is reported every year, then the data from the past years doesn’t coincide with that claim.
About the destination countries:

Switzerland, Austria and USA are the countries to go to, although USA less so than previously. And my 60% wasn’t too wrong either.
You’re misinformed if you think Germans aren’t emigrating en masse for economic reasons.
Your response to end the discussion and blaming it on me is arrogant and it pisses me off.
So let me make it visual for you, so you can understand it better and we can finish this discussion:
People are migrating in any country, and sometimes they come back as is the case for Germany.
