about tHis report

➔ The second quarter

of 2011 saw a reversal in

employment markets and

in the economic outlook

generally, as banking and

financial troubles intersect

with government spending

cutbacks to produce a somber

and volatile mood across

the euro zone.

The deterioration in sentiment

across Europe during the

quarter sharply punctuated the

emerging signs of recovery

that were evident in the early

part of 2011.

The reversal in economic

fortunes has seen labour

markets weaken, although the

unemployment rate, which

lags the economic reality,

remained stable in the

EU27 at 9.5% between

June and July (10%, also

unchanged, for the broader

euro-zone). The number of

people out of work in the

EU27 rose by 18,000 to 22.711

million from June to July

(61,000 and 15.757 million for

the euro area).

The broad unemployment

picture also hides a more

divergent multi-speed

economy, with improved

jobless rates in Austria,

further weakness in Spain and

Greece, to a lesser extent the

Netherlands, Luxembourg

and France, and a more stable

position in Germany.

But the cuts to public sector

jobs, the fiscal tightening

across the region, and

nervousness about sovereign

debt all point to a likely

deterioration in employment

in the months ahead.

More broadly, economic

conditions stalled in the

second quarter of 2011, with

GDP in the major economies

of France, Germany and the

United Kingdom, all flattening,

after promising starts to the

year. This weak domestic

activity will translate into

subdued demand for goods

and services, while uncertainty

about jobs will see consumers

curtail spending.

With economic momentum

flagging, the labour market

is likely to face continued

weakness. Few businesses

will be looking at new hirings

and some that have strived

to retain headcount will

probably find this the last

straw. But the same trends

that are causing disparate

economic performance across

member countries are also

likely to produce differing jobs

outcomes. The public sector

will remain weak in all regions

yet, labour shortages in some

critical areas will persist.

The fragility of the EU’s

economic position is

underscored by the

uncertainty that characterizes

efforts to resolve the sovereign

debt crisis. Much rides on

the ability of political leaders

and regulators to avoid this

morphing into a banking and

financial crisis.

Rarely has the degree of

uncertainty been so great. A

successful resolution of the

crisis may avoid recession and

prompt a weak recovery in late

2011, but failure could prompt

serious questions about the

future of the economic and

monetary union.

but tHe cuts to

public sector

Jobs… and

nervousness about

sovereign debt all

point to a likely

deterioration in

employment in tHe

montHs aHead.

about tHis report

➔ There was a reduction

in both the number of jobs

lost and gained as a result of

restructuring activity in the

second quarter of 2011.

Data collected by the

European Monitoring Centre

on Change show that total job

losses between April and June

2011 totaled approximately

93,000, down slightly from the

previous quarter, but well up

from 51,000 one year earlier.

Meanwhile job creations in the

quarter totaled approximately

46,600 - well down on 72,000

in the previous quarter but still

well above the 24,500 figure

a year earlier. The trend in job

creations in the latest period

reverses the generally positive

momentum that has been

evident since the end of 2009.

It seems clear that the rate of

layoffs has largely steadied at

around 100,000 per quarter in

the period following the 2009

economic downturn. The

concern will be over whether

this level will now accelerate in

the face of the recent volatility.

The picture is somewhat

confounded by the growing

disparity between the more

buoyant and fiscally-prudent

core group of EU countries,

and the peripheral members

whose economies are weak

and now facing further

cutbacks. The aggregate

unemployment rate has

stabilized at just under

10 percent across

the EU, but there

remain wide variation across

member states – from near-full

employment in Netherlands

and Austria, and over

20 percent unemployment

in Spain.

Individual countries are

now embarking on their

own approaches to addressing

the economic challenge.

Sharp cutbacks in public

sector spending in countries

such as Greece, Ireland,

the UK, Spain and Portugal

are likely to fuel layoffs in

coming months, while the

resilience of countries such as

Germany and France will be

tested by the weakness

of their neighbours.

about tHis report

➔ The largest number

of job losses in the second

quarter quarter of 2011

occurred in the Netherlands

(22,890), followed by Italy

(14,199), United Kingdom

(12,931) and Spain (8,387).

The Netherlands topped

the list of job losses, fuelled

by some 12,000 cuts to the

Dutch Defence Ministry as

part of the government’s

austerity measures.

There were similar cuts to

the UK armed forces, where

approximately 11,000 jobs will

be lost through redundancies

and natural wastage. This

represents the first installment

of what the Ministry says will

be some 43,000 job cuts

to be achieved by 2015.

Approximately 25,000 of these

will be in the civilian Ministry

of Defence staff.

Also in the Netherlands,

telecommunications company,

KPN announced cuts of

between 4,000 and 5,000

positions, with a significant

proportion to be outsourced

to India.

In Italy, banking group, Intesa

San Paolo announced its

intention to implement 10,000

job cuts by the end of 2013.

In the UK, home care provider,

Southern Cross has announced

3,000 job cuts as it strives

to implement a financial

rescue package.

During the second quarter,

France had the largest number

of job gains with 13,366 new

positions. The largest single

case involves national rail

company, SNCF, which will

hire 8,000 new employees

by the end of 2011.

Poland saw more than

7,000 new jobs announced,

with 4,000 of those associated

with retailer, Jeronimo Martins,

which already employs

ome 30,000 people across

the country.

Germany is set to gain some

7,000 new jobs, led by

about 1,200 new positions

at car maker, Audi, and

approximately 1,000 at BMW.

about tHis report

➔ The mounting pressure

to curtail government

spending has seen public

administration bear the brunt

of job losses across the EU.

There were almost 30,000

public sector layoffs during

the second quarter of 2011,

repeating a trend that

emerged early in 2011, and

outstripping the manufacturing

sector as the chief source of

job-shedding.

In the first six months of 2011,

more than 60,000 public

sector positions have been

wiped out.

In addition to the reported

losses in the Dutch and

UK defence forces, there

continues to be an erosion

of positions in a range of

government enterprises and

local councils. Rotterdam

City Council announced

2,000 job cuts, while the

Catalan Government will

lose 1,000 positions.

The second largest German

public health insurer, DAK will

abolish 800 positions.

After public administration,

financial services and

manufacturing each lost

approximately 20,000 jobs

in the quarter.

Financial services job losses

occurred at Italian bank,

Intesa San Paolo, at a number

of Spanish banks including

Caja Sol, and at Allied Irish

Bank, which announced

2,000 redundancies.

In the manufacturing sector,

Nokia announced 2,900 job

losses in Finland and

700 in the UK, as part of a

planned 7,000 staff

reduction worldwide.

Also in the sector, Pfizer will

close its manufacturing plant

in Sandwich in the UK with

the loss of 2,400 jobs.

The manufacturing sector

saw the largest share of

job increases, with almost

19,000 new positions created.

Almost 10,000 of these

were concentrated in auto

manufacturing.

The resurgence in auto

manufacturing reverses some

of the cuts that were delivered

during the economic

recession. Aside from the

previously mentioned job

creations at Audi and BMW,

there were new jobs at PSA

Peugeot Citroen, Ford, and

French parts maker, Faureccia.

In transport and

communications, the main

source of new jobs was in

French rail company, SNCF,

while smaller contributions

came from US clothing firm,

TJX Europe, with a new

distribution centre, and from

new positions at the cargo

facility at Brussels Airport.

summary








about tHis report

➔ There were a total of

145 cases of restructuring

involving job losses in the

June quarter of 2011, down

from almost 200 in the

previous quarter.

The overwhelming reason

cited by businesses for

these cases was “internal

restructuring”, which

accounted for 82 percent of

all cases, down slightly from

89 percent in the previous

quarter, but up from 71

percent a year earlier.

The category of “forced”

shutdowns, which includes

“closure” and “bankruptcy”

accounted for 9 percent of job

losses in the June quarter. This

was virtually unchanged from

the previous quarter but well

below the 20 percent figure of

one year ago.

This shows that the state of

health of the business sector

remains relatively buoyant, but

the question is whether this

will be adversely impacted by

the turbulence that has hit the

EU in more recent times.

05european labour market outlook

Home

contents

summary








about tHis report

➔ Europe looks set for

a period of contraction in

demand and output that will

put a lid on economic activity

for the remainder of 2011.

The labour market will suffer

as this weakness in activity

flows through into lower

employment growth, layoffs

and reduced hiring. Firms that

have endured a sustained

period of soft activity in the

wake of the 2009 downturn will

face tough choices in regard to

downsizing their workforces.

The difficulty facing

manufacturing was highlighted

by the purchasing managers’

index (PMI) which has fallen

beneath the expansion

threshold for the first time

since September 2009.

The manufacturing sector is

facing a challenging time,

but the forward indicators of

the services sector show it

remains positive.

Overall, the picture is

unsettling. The turmoil in

financial markets, the slowing

global economy, and the

unresolved sovereign debt

crisis are all weighing heavily

on business and consumer

sentiment. The political

difficulty in dealing with

Europe’s financial problems is

further sapping confidence.

The situation around the

Greek bail-out, in particular,

is exposing political and

economic tensions of a kind

not previously seen.

The moves to impose severe

fiscal cutbacks in member

countries will, at least in

the short term, weaken

consumer spending and

lead to job losses, particularly

in the public sector. Until

national budgets are in better

shape, and the sovereign

debt issue is contained, there

is little on the horizon that

will prompt resurgence in

economic activity.

The weak US economy is now

also a significant factor in the

bigger economic picture.

It’s really only China, among

the major economies, that

is holding up, but that is of

limited benefit to Europe

where the majority of trade is

within the region.

According to the OECD,

the outlook for the EU in

the months ahead is weak,

according to its Composite

Leading Indicator (CLI).

The index is designed to

anticipate turning points in

economic activity. It identifies

a period of “slowdown” in

the Euro area, including in

the economies of France,

Germany, UK and Italy. The

CLI also points to a “possible

peak” in activity in the United

States, as well as in the OECD

area as a whole.
