Calitatea locurilor de muncă devine o miză economică pentru UE. Comisia Europeană: Șocul energetic declanșat de conflictul din Orientul Mijlociu frânează crearea de noi locuri de muncă

The European Commission's annual report highlights the impact of job quality on productivity and economic competitiveness amid hiring slowdowns and labor shortages. It emphasizes the need for improved working conditions to attract and retain employees, particularly in sectors facing labor deficits. The report also discusses the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing productivity and job quality, while noting potential challenges for entry-level positions. Despite a resilient labor market, economic pressures from energy shocks are expected to slow job creation in 2026. The report indicates that higher wages can drive productivity, but firms must adapt to maintain competitiveness.
