it seems any job losses are caused by Brexit despite what the EU say.
Gap between large-scale job loss and job gain closes | Eurofound
as usual desperate remoaners making stuff up.Manufacturing contracting
Manufacturing accounts for most announced job losses and job gains in the database, partly because manufacturing firms tend to be big and so are more likely to meet the threshold for inclusion. The share of manufacturing in the database has tended to decrease since its launch in 2002, in particular as regards announced job creation, which demonstrates its diminishing share of overall employment. Around one in six European jobs is now in manufacturing compared with one in four in 1980. EU-LFS data show that within manufacturing, job losses have been most severe (losing more than 15% of employment) in basic, low-tech subsectors such as basic metals, textiles, clothing and leather, and wood, paper and printing. Machinery, food and beverages, and pharmaceuticals suffered more modest employment declines (losing less than 5%).Retail losses
The retail sector makes up an increasing proportion of announced job loss. Retail has been undergoing intensive restructuring activity since 2008 as consumption patterns shift away from established supermarket chains to mass market discount retailers. A combination of market forces, narrow margins and cross-border competition has seen the collapse of some major established retailers such as Woolworths, Arcandor and Dayli and the rapid rise of groups such as Aldi, Lidl and Ikea. The overall outcome for employment has been a net loss of some one million retail jobs (just over 3% of sector employment) since 2008.Public administration is another sector where large job losses have been announced in the past few years, occurring mainly in 2011–2012, coinciding with austerity-driven cutbacks in many Member States. There was also a significant increase in the share of job losses announced in financial services in 2013–2014, which could be a delayed reaction to the troubles experienced by the sector during the global financial crisis.Comment
