Description
Vecttor, a company dedicated to urban passenger transport with chauffeur-driven vehicles for hire, has announced the creation of 1500 new permanent jobs to work as drivers in Madrid (1000) and Barcelona (500). Specifically, the new drivers will work through the Cabify platform. The company offers salaries from €1,113 to €1,258 per month (12 payments per year) plus a percentage of variable salary depending on individual turnover.
This announcement comes as a consequence of the recovery of the mobility of the population, after the beginning of the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. The company has progressively incorporated 700 vehicles that will be received by the end of the year, which are less contaminating. Currently, 85% of the company's vehicles are ecological and it expects to increase this number up to 90% by the end of 2021.

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.
