Description
On 10 August 2009, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county government decided to reduce the workforce at the local hospital in Nyíregyháza by 140 by 5 October 2009.
This is the consequence of the reorganisation of the medical unit's state funding scheme that has been in place since April 2009. The introduction of new regulations resulted in a monthly deficit of HUF 130-150 and threatened the hospital with insolvency.
Those affected by the decision are administrative and maintenance employees but no medical staff.At the same time, there is new legislation requiring the hospital to sign new contracts with all employees. 105 hospital workers rejected to accept these new contracts and will leave the hospital. Thus, the headcount will drop from 2720 to 2475.

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.
