Description
The aircraft manufacturer Airbus intends to hire 450 people by the end of 2012 for its two sites in France. The plant of Bougenais offers 200 vacancies (currenly 2200 employees) and 250 jobs are being created in Montoir-de-Bretagne (currently 2050 employees).
Airbus is looking for fitters, operators and technicians. It has been reported that the company faces difficulties recruiting the staff. According to the union FO, a young worker can start with a monthly salary of 1600 euro. The Employment public service is working on a "capability" programme to find temporary workers from other sectors that may be able to work in the aircraft industry.

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.
