Description
Airbus Atlantic, the new subsidiary of the Airbus group, has announced the recruitment of 700 to 800 employees in France in 2022. The recruitment will take place at sites in Nantes and Montoir-de-Bretagne, as well as in Saint-Nazaire. The company develops and manufactures complex and metallic aerostructure components for civil and military aircraft programs.
The subsidiary will strengthen the aerostructure assembly value chain within the entire Airbus industrial system; it brings together Airbus and Stelia Aerospace, with seven sites and 13,000 employees, in 5 countries and 3 continents, including 9,000 employees in France. The estimated volume of activity is around €3.5 billion. Airbus Atlantic becomes 'the world's number two in aerostructures, the world's number one in pilot seats and is in the top three for business and first-class passenger seats'. The new structure plans to invest €1 billion over the next four years to modernise all its sites through digitalisation and robotisation.

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.
