Description
Ryanair, the Irish passenger airline, plans to create at least 1,000 jobs in 2012, due to expansion in Denmark, Poland, Mallorca, Cyprus and the UK. The vacancies are for pilots, cabin crew, engineers and sales and marketing professionals.
The move will increase the size of Ryanair's workforce by more than 10 per cent, from around 8,000. This reflects an expansion in the carrier's fleet, from 270 to 305 aircraft. New bases have already been announced, in Billund (Denmark), Wroclaw (Poland), Manchester (UK) and Paphos (Cyprus). It is not yet clear exactly how many jobs will be created in each country.

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.
