Slow but steady return to employment growth
Europe has begun to emerge from its prolonged economic slump: in 2014–2015, for instance, over four million new jobs were created in the EU28. Eurofound’s fifth annual European Jobs Monitor report looks at changes in net employment between Q2 2011 and Q2 2015, at Member State level and in the EU overall.
It uses a ‘jobs-based’ approach to describe employment shifts quantitatively (how many jobs were created or destroyed) and qualitatively (what kinds of jobs).
It also introduces a new set of indicators on the task content, methods and tools used at work.
Derived from international databases on work and occupations, these give a detailed account of what Europeans do at work and how they do it.
