Description
In the centre of Bucharest (Bucureşti region) a new Anador commercial centre has recently been inaugurated. The construction is actually the result of refitting the first horse-driven tram depot erected in Bucharest 100 years ago.
The centre has 3,200 square metres shopping galleries, which include a supermarket, fresh-market, chemist's, bookshop, as well as restaurants, coffee shops, clothing departments, etc. Furthermore, due to the unusual location, Anador will host book releases, theatre performances, and other special events.
'the building costs around €2.5 million and the centre will employ 400 to 500 people. We estimate an annual income of €1.5 million. I intend to extend Anador to other cities in Romania. For instance I am currently searching for a location to build a similar centre in Cluj (Cluj county, Nord-Vest region)' the company manager declared.

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.
