Memo: Monthly monitoring report on EU employment and social situation

The report is the first in a new series of monthly analyses to monitor the EU employment situation. Making use of a wide range of sources of timely data, the monitor presents an update of the labour market situation and restructuring trends, set against a background of economic and sectoral developments.

This month it provided a special focus on developments in the larger Member States as well as an in-depth analysis of the automotive industry, and an indication of the overall social implications of the economic crisis. Every three months, there will be an update on the social situation.
