For four chousen European capitals (London, Paris, Madrid, Berlin), it was revealed that the hypothesis of employment and migrants’ microgeography the relationship is not always confirmed._x000D_
London is distinguished by the difference between east and west, which is visible in the unemployment rate. Neighborhoods with a high newly employed migrants proportion partly coincide with those where unemployment is high, and partly with areas where there are many migrants (but not always). There are quarters where there are many unemployed in different London parts, more often in the east (a whole array). The new migrant workers proportion in working age was found. The high new migrant workers share where unemployment is high or there are many migrants. On the outskirts where white British live, there is little work for migrants._x000D_
In Paris, the leader in unemployment is the north is Seine-Saint-Denis Department with 18% of unemployment, in some places up to 27%. These are areas of social and dilapidated housing, sometimes to this day industrial, poor, with a people from Africa abundance._x000D_
In Madrid, unemployment also correlates with the immigrants’ resettlement mostly in the south. But in some places it is high both in the center and in other areas._x000D_
Berlin is characterized by differences between the eastern and western parts of the city, with the east standing out for the better, where unemployment is less. At the same time, the contrasts are more noticeable between the quarters._x000D_
