Description
The national Finnish Security Intelligence Service (Supo) is hiring over 50 new employees for positions including detectives, researchers, secretaries and system specialists. Most of the posts are permanent, and the majority are based in Helsinki. However, a significant number are also spread in cities across the country. The recruitment follows from the decision of the Finnish Government to increase Supo's budget by €6 million with the purpose of improving the country's internal security. Finances are directed especially into counter-terrorist activities.
Supo's staff has grown slightly in recent years, but the scale of the current expansion is unprecedented. Moreover, a reform of civilian intelligence legislation is currently awaiting parliamentary discussion. If the reform passes, Supo's personnel resources might be further increased.

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.
