Human Resources: Swiss justice ministry calls for better job opportunities for asylum-seekers

The Swiss justice ministry says asylum-seekers who have been admitted to Switzerland on a temporary basis should be provided with better job opportunities.

Eduard Gnesa, head of the Federal Migration Office, says 90 per cent of temporary asylum-seekers stay in Switzerland. "Which is why we must integrate them as well as possible," he said in an interview with the NZZ am Sonntag newspaper.
