Description
Printing group Delo Tiskarna has made 280 job cuts in recent years in Ljubljana. Formerly one of the largest printing houses in Slovenia, the company owned by the Krater Group, had 330 employees in 2006; the number was reduced to only 50 by the end of 2009. The reasons for such a radical reduction of employment were partly due to the necessary internal restructuring; another reason may be high price of real estate (land) on which the print houses in Ljubljana are located. In some cases it has been more profitable for the owner to liquidate the companies and to sell the land than to continue printing activity.

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.
