Description
Hungarian meat processing firm Tamási-Hús is to expand its workforce by a total of 255 in the Southern Transdanubian town of Tamási, due to a large-scale investment project that started in 2018. The investment is expected to reach completion in 2022 and by that time, the number of employees is to surpass 500. Most of the new jobs will not require special qualifications, hence they will be available for low-skilled workers.
The development project entails the building of a new plant and a new warehouse, as well as installing new machineries. As a result, the firm’s sliced bacon capacity will increase, and the roast bacon output will grow twofold. The overall investment cost is nearly €43 million, one-quarter of which is covered by state subsidy.
Tamási-Hús is a subsidiary of Austria-based meat product company Gierlinger that has production facilities in five European countries. Tamási-Hús is a market leader in the production of bacon products and exports 60% of its output. At the beginning of 2021, it employed 359 people.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
