Companies notified 407 collective dismissals through August, according to data from the Directorate-General for Employment and Labour Relations (DGERT). The figure is up 13.4% from the same period last year.
According to the information released, this is the highest figure since 2020. The indicator counts notifications made by companies and helps track the development of collective dismissal procedures in the labour market.
The data do not, by themselves, describe the situation at any individual company or all changes in employment. Even so, the year-on-year comparison offers a relevant signal for monitoring business activity and labour market developments in the coming months.
