➔ 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.

➔ 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.

➔ Cuts to government
spending saw Italy record the

In Germany, there were 16,297
jobs lost, including 2,400 at
energy provider RWE, 2,000 at
retail chain Karstadt, and 2,000

1,500 new positions.
France saw a total of 4,700

jobs were lost, with a
major factor being 8,000
job cuts at car maker
PSA Peugeot-Citroën.

➔ 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).

➔ 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.

➔ 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.
