5.2.2.3 Contact at the place of work
Contact with persons of German origin at the workplace
are common – a fact which is attributable to the high employment
rate. A notable polarisation applies between persons who
have frequent contact and those who have no contact at all,
whereby the latter lack of contact is generally due to the fact
that the persons concerned are not in employment. While differences
apply between the respective countries of origin and
religions, no uniform pattern is identifiable, i.e. varying levels of
contact with Germans are to be observed among Muslims and
other religions from certain countries of origin.
