She then worked for two years at the General / Euro Works Council of Volkswagen AG in Wolfsburg. In the 1990s, she completed her habilitation in Düsseldorf on employment in the economic crisis using the example of Mexico. Then, she held a substitute professorship at the Institute of Geography at the University of Cologne.
