The pay gap between German and foreign full-time workers in Germany stood at 23.6% at the end of 2025, according to a response from the Federal Labour Ministry to a parliamentary query by the far-right AfD party. The ministry reported median monthly gross earnings of €4,396 for German full-time employees and €3,358 for foreign full-time employees, figures that have remained largely stable since 2020, fluctuating between 23.1% and 25.5% .
In 2025, 30.6% of foreign full-time workers in Germany earned low wages, compared with 12.3% of German workers. AfD social policy spokesman René Springer criticized the government’s immigration policy, arguing it was suppressing wages, though the data itself does not confirm or rule out such an effect, as it does not show how wages would have evolved without immigration .
The Federal Employment Agency and the government emphasized that earnings depend heavily on education, qualifications, and professional experience. A study by the Institute for Employment Research found that wage differences between immigrants and native-born Germans are largely due to immigrants being less likely to work in high-paying sectors or positions. In 2025, median earnings in Germany were €3,133 for those without vocational qualifications, €4,069 for those with recognized qualifications, and €6,146 for graduates .
Meanwhile, foreign workers accounted for 22% of all employees in the Czech Republic at the end of 2025, nearly tripling from 8% in 2015, according to data from the Czech National Bank. The number of foreign employees rose from about 323,000 in 2015 to 935,000 in 2025, with Ukrainians representing the largest group at approximately 358,000, followed by nearly 230,000 Slovaks. Foreign workers were particularly concentrated in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, retail, transport, and hospitality, with more than half of employees in accommodation and food services being foreign nationals .
