German cities in the ranking
- Düsseldorf (26th): high ranking in the work, economic situation, and career opportunities categories. Negative aspects: poor acclimatization and unfriendly residents.
- Frankfurt am Main (29th): working life is praised, but the lack of living space is still a problem. Moreover, the respondents agree that it is difficult to make friends, especially those without a (good) knowledge of German.
- Hamburg (33rd): offers the best working life in Germany. However, climate and weather are perceived as negative aspects. On the other hand, expats praise the quality of life, health, and the environment.
