Hamburg and Berlin are popular for starting a career. Graduates tend to move away from most other federal states, as a survey shows.

For every ten students in Saxony-Anhalt, there are only four who also want to start their careers there.

No federal state is in a worse position when students are asked where they want to work later.

This was the result of a survey by the Dutch University of Maastricht for the job platform »Jobvalley«.

When making the transition from a university degree to starting a career, more people emigrate than immigrate, especially in the eastern German states.

Details of the survey

Open areaWho created the study?

The job platform »Jobvalley« (formerly »Studitemps«) together with the Institute for Labor Economics at the Dutch University of Maastricht.

The figures are a representative special evaluation of the study series »Fachkraft 2030«.

Open areaWho was interviewed for this?

For the study, around 22,000 students were surveyed online throughout Germany in March and September 2021.

The other results:

  • Many graduates also want to move away from Thuringia (-50.2 percent), Brandenburg (-47.6 percent) and Rhineland-Palatinate (-42.4 percent) after graduation.

    In Saxony-Anhalt, the minus is 63.1 percent.

  • Only four federal states can benefit from students who want to move after graduating for work: the city states of Hamburg and Berlin as well as Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, i.e. the industrially and economically strong south.

  • The Hanseatic city is doing particularly well: for every 100 students from Hamburg, there are 215 graduates who want to stay in the city or move there after graduation – an increase of 115.4 percent.

  • Berlin has an increase of 67.7 percent.

    Bavaria (+15.2 percent) and Baden-Württemberg (+14.3 percent) follow.

This also has financial consequences, because it means that the costs of education are distributed very unequally.

"Other federal states bear the training costs for the workforce of these winner states," is the conclusion of the analysis.

The biggest winner is Hamburg with an increase of more than 1.2 billion euros.

North Rhine-Westphalia pays a particularly large amount with a minus of around 676 million euros.

According to the study organizers, the expenditure of the federal states per student was offset against the number of students and the expected migration balance for the sums.
