The Latest: German governing parties agree on migrant plan


Germany's governing parties say they've agreed upon a broad range of measures to help the country integrate those of the 1.1 million migrants who arrived last year who are granted asylum.

The measures announced Thursday, which will be discussed with state governors before they're formalized to present to Parliament, seek to strike a balance between giving migrants easier access to jobs and integration courses, while increasing expectations of them as well.

They foresee creating thousands of government-funded "job opportunities" for migrants, news agency dpa reported, and the suspension for three years of a rule that asylum-seekers are initially excluded from jobs unless no German or European Union citizen can fill them.

Waiting times for integration courses teaching German will be reduced, but they'll be made mandatory for more migrants.
