Commuting across the border
The advantage of having your place of residence in our German-Danish border region is that the job market does not stop at the border, so that the numbers of job offers and job seekers can offset each other across the border as well. The regional office Regionskontor Padborg, which also regularly offers external office hours in Flensburg, provides information concerning commuting across the border.
