the Employment

Restructuring Report is

compiled by Kelly services

using publicly-available data

from official, private and

non-profit organisations. it

aims to provide a summary

of the leading factors

contributing to labour

and hiring conditions in

the relevant markets,

with a special focus on

up-to-date layoffs and

job creation statistics.

about this report

➔ Job losses jumped

in the third quarter of

2012 as the painful debt

restructuring saga dragged

on, and as the EU economy

moved closer to recession.

Dismal economic growth

figures show that the

likelihood of a return to

recession seems almost

inevitable, with modest

economic recovery not likely

until at least mid-2013.

there remains tremendous uncertainty over the capacity to

absorb the deep structural remedies necessary to restore

long term fiscal balance.

3 | employment restructuring report | european union edition Q4 2012

Notwithstanding some

positive measures to allay

the immediate debt and

banking crisis afflicting the

EU, there remains tremendous

uncertainty over the capacity

to absorb the deep structural

remedies necessary to restore

long term fiscal balance.

The depth and duration

of the required economic

adjustment, not to mention

the social consequences,

are only beginning to be

fully realized, in terms of

longer term European

unity and global growth.

Official OECD estimates

have downgraded both

EU economic activity

and growth among the

developed economies,

largely as a consequence

of the EU stagnation.

GDP growth in the third

quarter in the EU was a

meagre 0.1% and year-over-

year recorded a fall of 0.4%.

Throughout the year, the

UK declined -0.1%, France

edged 0.1% higher and

Germany grew by 0.9%.

While more positive signs

emerge from the US, and

with China’s own mini-slump

looking to have bottomed, the

EU’s problems remain a serious

threat to the world economy.

Within the EU, the number

of job losses as a result of

business restructuring activity

jumped in the third quarter

to more than 100,000, while

the number of job creations

fell to a just 30,000.

Equally worrying is that the

economic weakness that was

once confined to peripheral

economies is beginning to

impact core economies.

Across the EU, the impact

of austerity measures is

producing stark differences

in economic performance

and employment. Rising

unemployment rates

and, in particular, youth

unemployment rates in Greece

and Spain of above 50%

are calling into question the

merit of spending cutbacks

and the capacity to sustain

austerity over the long haul.

about this report

➔ The European

Monitoring Centre on Change

(EMCC) reports that the labour

market weakened in the third

quarter of 2012, as job losses

climbed and job creations fell.

There were a total of 274

cases of business restructuring

affecting employment, with

01eu labour marKet trends

4 | employment restructuring report | european union edition Q4 2012

197 resulting in redundancies

and 77 involving job creation.

In all, there were a total of

105,076 announced job

losses in the third quarter,

approximately 32,000

higher than in the previous

quarter, and some 48,000

higher than a year earlier.

The number of job creations

in the third quarter totaled

30,520, approximately

17,000 fewer than in the

previous quarter, and 3,000

fewer than a year ago.

The gap between job

losses and creations was at

its highest in two years.

The unemployment rate in

the EU has continued to rise,

sitting at 10.6% at the end of

the third quarter, compared

with 9.8% a year earlier.

Eurostat estimates that there

are 25.7 million people

unemployed in the EU,

approximately 2.1 million

higher than at the same

time in the previous year.

Also, the disparities in

unemployment are at historic

levels, as the varying impacts

of austerity measures take

effect. At the low end,

unemployment ranges from

4.6% in Austria and 5.5% in

Luxembourg, Netherlands

and Germany, up to 25%

in Spain and Greece.

about this report

➔ Cuts to government

spending saw Italy record the

largest number of job losses

in the quarter – a total of

31,340 positions lost, largely

as a result of the 24,000 jobs

axed from the public sector.

In Germany, there were 16,297

jobs lost, including 2,400 at

energy provider RWE, 2,000 at

retail chain Karstadt, and 2,000

as a result of the bankruptcy

jobs were lost, with a

major factor being 8,000

job cuts at car maker

PSA Peugeot-Citroën.

market, with 8,420 jobs

being lost in the quarter.

The country with the largest

case of job creation was the

about this report

➔ Two sectors –

manufacturing and public

administration – accounted for

just over half of all job losses

in the third quarter of 2012.

The slowdown in economic

activity across the EU was

reflected in the loss of 32,501

jobs in the manufacturing

sector during the quarter.

This takes total job losses

in the manufacturing sector

to almost 96,000 in the first

three quarters of the year.

9 | employment restructuring report | european union edition Q4 2012

Cutbacks to government

budgets saw just over

25,000 jobs disappear in

public administration.

The financial services

industry also felt the erosion

of consumer demand

and reduced disposable

income, with more than

16,000 jobs vanishing.

Continued tough conditions

in the retail sector and weak

consumer spending resulted

in almost 8,500 jobs lost,

while the IT sector saw

6,251 positions disappear.

When it comes to employment

gains, the manufacturing

sector recorded the highest

number with 8,350 positions

created, followed by transport

& storage (7,240), retail

(3,554), and information/

communication (2,380).

about this report

➔ The vast majority

of positions that are being

lost are still attributable

to voluntary internal

restructuring, as enterprises

seek to manage their way out

of the economic quagmire.

A total of 77% of the job

losses identified in the

quarter were put down to

internal restructuring.

However, 15% of the losses are

the result of both bankruptcies

and closure, as businesses

succumb to the prolonged

economic weakness. This is

still within the trend of recent

quarters, suggesting that while

many businesses are doing it

tough, they are managing to

trade through their difficulties.

What will be of interest is

how long the latest wave of

austerity cuts can continue

to be absorbed by firms

that are struggling to

balance weak activity while

maintaining headcount.

about this report

➔ Europe’s economy

is in for further difficult

days, with all the forecasts

pointing to ongoing weak

activity and nervousness

surrounding official efforts

to rein in government debt

and curtail spending.

In a pattern that is becoming

familiar, the immediate

crisis facing Greece has

been averted, with an

agreement to reduce the

country’s debt by 40 billion

and soften its medium term

debt-to-GDP targets.

So another crisis is averted,

which, depending on your

view, either avoids catastrophe

or forestalls the inevitable.

There are many uncertainties

and too few positives

hovering over the EU to

13 | employment restructuring report | european union edition Q4 2012

have anything other than

a downbeat outlook.

Glimmers of optimism, such

as a more positive tone

in the UK economy, are

overshadowed by the weak

consumer and business

confidence elsewhere.

The European Economic

Sentiment Indicator

has reached a new low,

while the eurozone

Purchasing Managers’

Index has worsened.

The labour market, as

a lagging indicator, will

continue to feel the pain from

weak business sentiment,

low levels of investment,

and worried consumers.

Even if, as the OECD and

IMF suggest, the EU economy

begins to respond by

mid-2013, it will be well into

2013 before the labour market

starts to show signs of life.

On the positive side, there are

more hopeful signs emerging

from the US economy, where

business activity and the

housing market are seeing

definite signs of recovery.

Even the political stage show

surrounding the so-called

fiscal cliff seems likely to avoid

an economic meltdown.

In China, the key indicator

of factory output has

registered its first uptick in

the last year, suggesting

that the contraction there

may be nearing an end.

The OECD makes a very clear

point about the EU outlook

– some decisive action has

already been taken but much

more will be needed to stem

deep-rooted imbalances

in a number of countries.

The question remains whether

the most troubled economies

have the political or social

will to manage a monumental

turnaround in productive

capability and lifestyle. Equally,

will the central bankers

and the better-performing

economies be able to endure

this prolonged re-balancing?

For the moment, there is

little to cheer. The best that

can be expected is that

the EU will lurch from one

economic or banking hurdle

to the next, and that global

recovery will help to push

it toward a more stable

recovery some time in 2013.
