The International Monetary Fund said nearly 4 million migrants will arrive in Europe by the end of 2017 -- a rate of 1.3 million per year from 2015 to 2017.
For perspective, the three-year migration figure equals the population of Oklahoma.
That IMF prediction exceeds the numbers forecasted by the European Union, Britain's Telegraph reported Wednesday.
The international agency warned of difficulties the newcomers face in finding work due to language barriers and job qualifications.
"International experience with economic immigrants suggests that migrants have lower employment rates and wages than natives, though these differences diminish over time," the IMF said in a statement quoted by the Telegraph.
"Slow integration reflects factors such as lack of language skills and transferable job qualifications, as well as barriers to job search," the IMF added.
The IMF also expressed concern that migrants could take away local jobs, especially given high unemployment rates in some areas, Britain's Daily Mail noted. The agency recommended easing travel restrictions on migrants to allow them to find jobs.

I heard today that in the bi-partisan budget bill just passed by Congress, it allows money for 300,000 immigrants this coming year. 300,000; how many will be Syrian/Middle Eastern Muslim refugees, hmmmm?
They aren't clueless - they think the newcomers will be dumber and even easier to buy off with social welfare benefits than the current population, which will increase their personal power and wealth. They may get a rude awakening some day, but unfortunately their citizens will feel the full effects of the Islamic storm long before they ever do.
Don’t want them here, need Trump.
I keep hoping that someone will wake up over there. I am beginning to think, it is NOT going to happen, not now, not ever. The people may not like it, but their leaders are EVIL. The Obungler wants this for America too.
I wonder if it is fulfilling Bible prophecy, about a one world religion?
BINGO. Post of the day Mr J. Eventually, their leaders will feel the wrath of the Islamics, but how many of their own citizens will die violently, before they do? I would guess millions. All these suck bags think they are insulated from them. They are not.
