The postwar boom both enabled displaced integration and was itself fueled by that workforce

Evidence

Second, the integration of expellees and repatriates took place in the context of economic growth far greater than the global average. Though the West German ‘economic miracle’ (Wirtschaftswunder) and the French ‘Glorious Thirty’ (Trente Glorieuses) became part of specifically national cultures of remembrance, this economic boom was a common Western European experience. Though it is not easy to assess, apparently, expellees and repatriates both contributed to and benefited from economic growth. While the boom was obviously a prerequisite to their integration and ‘absorption’ into the labor market, the abundant and available workforce also fueled the expanding economy. The extensive socio-economic integration programs towards the two groups, for example in the house building sector, further contributed to the economic momentum. — Manuel Borutta and Jan C.
