Description
The Spanish national railway company RENFE has announced the creation of 250 new jobs in various locations in Spain.
The new jobs will especially be in the field of commercial operations as well as maintenance and manufacturing. The business expansion is the result of an agreement between RENFE and the Spanish Defence Ministry, aiming to employ military personnel within the railway company. The new positions are specifically reserved for Army and Navy personnel who are in their last ten years of service, as well as for personnel from the Special Availability Reserve.

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.
