Description
German semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies is to invest 250 million euro in Austria and is looking for 100 additional staff members. The development site in Graz will be expanded during the business expansion; a fourth building is to be constructed by the end of the year.
These expansion plans were announced by the company's CEO Ms Kicher-Kohl on 28 June 2012. The company, whose staff levels have constantly increased over the course of the last years, will have an all-time high of 3,000 permanent employees by the end of the year. In addition, the company employs 600 temporary agency workers.
Infineon is looking for process engineers and employees for technical marketing. Due to a lack of available candidates in Austria, the company is looking for staff members worldwide and has started a partnership with the University of Ljubljana in order to recruit employees from Slovenia as well.

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.
