Description
The building company Mangen Constructions has announced its bankruptcy with 225 jobs cut. This is the second bankruptcy of a large construction company in Luxembourg in a short timeframe; Socimmo (470 employees, see here) failed in September 2011.
Mangen Constructions was no longer able to fulfill its financial commitments to its suppliers and employees. The relationship between suppliers and Mangen construction has been tense since the Socimmo bankruptcy in September 2011.
It is reported that it will be very difficult for the redundant employees at Mangen to find new construction jobs as it has proven difficult for former Socimmo employees to do so.

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.
