Description
Jabil Circuit Magyarország Szerződéses Gyártó, a Hungarian designer and manufacturer of electrical products, has announced 900 job losses.
The company announced a significant workforce downscale of 900 employees, implemented by the non-renewal of the contracts of both temporary agency workers and employees on payroll. The company declared that decreasing the workforce is necessary due to the global economic crisis that is causing a fall in demand for its products. According to local political authorities, Jabil Circuit has always been characterized by the continuous change of its size to comply with changing market circumstances. This strategy has resulted in a fluctuation in the number of its employees.
Jabil Circuit Magyarország, based in Tiszaújváros (Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county), is a subsidiary of Jabil Circuit, whose headquarters are in St Petersburg (USA). The company is an electronic solutions provider, designing, manufacturing, and managing electrical products.
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.
