Description
On December 14th, tyre manufacturer Michelin announced the creation of 700 jobs in France in 2012. The company is reported to recruit for 450 managerial positions and 250 blue-collar production workers. Two-thirds of the new recruits will be recruited for headquarter in Clermont-Ferrand (Puy-de-Dôme).
Michelin is said to organize 100 recruitment events during 2012 in order to fill the new positions, involving recruitment by help of social media (facebook, linkedin etc.).
During the financial and economic crisis in 2009, Michelin had announced to cut between 1,700 and 3,000 French jobs before 2011 (see here).
UPDATE: On 12 March 2012, Michelin signed a three years agreement with the French Employment Public service Pôle Emploi to support Michelin in its recruitments.

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.

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.
