However, the fact that Denizli has become a major city of global factories have arisen at the expense of the workers’ race to the bottom. In this study, the situation of the Syrian immigrants in the Denizli urban labor market is investigated.

In the scope of the study, participants’ experiences concerning migration, job seeking processes, working conditions and wages were analyzed by using the results of qualitative analysis
