Few Hungarians Working In Germany

"Only 63,000 new workers from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia, far fewer than forecast, have taken up work in Germany since restrictions were abolished in May 2011, according to the German labour office.
Among the newcomers, 66% came from Poland, and 13%, or 8,200, from Hungary.
Researchers had forecast that 800,000 new workers would move to Germany from these countries by the end of 2012.
They explain the lower figures by suggesting that the first choices of émigré workers were the UK and Ireland, rather than Germany."
