(28 July 2017) – The sixth annual European Jobs Monitor report, published by Eurofound, looks at recent shifts (from 2011 to 2016) in employment at Member State and aggregate EU levels.
During 2016, employment in the EU finally returned to the same level as before the global financial crisis.
The recovery that began in 2013 has resulted in the net creation of eight million new jobs.
Most of this net new employment has been created in services, but there has also been a marked rebound in manufacturing employment, with around 1.5 million new jobs.
