Description
Mercadona, the Spanish supermarket chain, has announced the creation of 150 new jobs in Boadilla del Monte, Madrid.
The reason behind this business expansion is the launching of a new logistics facility for online sales for which the company has invested 13.20 million Euros. This new facility will, from now on, provide services to several large towns in the Madrid area, such as Boadilla del Monte, Alcorcón, Villaviciosa de Odón, Leganés, Parla or Tres Cantos. The new logistics facility is intended to consolidate Mercadona’s online shopping business, which currently represents a total turnover of 540 million Euros and provides employment to 2,700 workers within Mercadona. The new logistics facility is the sixth one of Mercadona in Spain.

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.
