Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
On 9 May 2011, German automobile manufacturer BMW announced the creation of 2,000 new jobs in 2011, of which 1,000 jobs will be created in Germany. There is no information on which other countries these new jobs will be created. The company also said it will continue hiring temporary workers in order to react flexibly to market fluctuations. Last week BMW had announced their record result for the first quarter of the business year, expecting to hit an all time high in sales in 2011.
