Concedieri colective în România: Peste 10.000 de angajați și-au pierdut locurile de muncă de la începutul anului până la final de august

Over 10,000 people have been laid off in Romania through collective dismissals by the end of August 2026, marking an increase compared to the previous year. Major companies, particularly in the telecom and automotive sectors, are facing significant challenges, leading to voluntary departures and anticipated layoffs. The automotive industry is particularly affected, with warnings of potential revenue losses and job cuts. The data from the National Agency for Employment indicates that 208 companies have announced plans for collective dismissals affecting over 22,000 employees. The unemployment rate has risen slightly, reflecting a negative trend in job creation, especially among small and medium enterprises. Experts predict further layoffs due to ongoing economic recession.
