Abstract	"The Commission's annual Employment in Europe report, the 21st in the series, comes against a backdrop this year of quite exceptional economic circumstances. Hot on the heels of last autumn's global financial crisis, the worst economic downturn Europe has seen since World War II has brought several years of relatively high economic growth and job creation to an abrupt halt and thrown far too many businesses, households and workers into serious difficulties. The European Union reacted swiftly to the financial and economic crisis, taking the steps necessary to prevent a meltdown of the financial markets and adopting a European Economic Recovery Plan. With Europe's labour markets already deeply affected by the challenges of globalisation, technological change, ageing societies and climate change, the ensuing employment crisis has heightened the need for policies to help people keep their jobs or get them back into employment quickly. The Union accordingly acted to stabilise labour markets, taking measures focused on maintaining existing employment and creating new jobs, improving workers' skills and matching labour-market demand and supply more closely. In these turbulent times, the Commission has placed special emphasis on the monitoring and analysis of short-term developments and policy action. At the beginning of this year it launched the monthly Labour Market Monitor, a new short-term monitoring tool that provides a useful guide for EU and Member State policymakers. The onset of the crisis should not mean, however, that the broader structural issues affecting the EU labour market can be neglected. On the contrary, the Commission must make sure that short-term policy measures are not at odds with long-term structural reforms, which in turn are a prerequisite for the EU economy and labour markets to emerge well prepared for future challenges from the current downturn. Bearing that challenge in mind, the 2009 Employment in Europe report takes a deeper look at two issues that are important for EU employment policy in the future: the dynamics of European labour markets and the implications of climate change for labour-market outcomes. A clearer understanding of labour-market dynamics is critical in a time of crisis, when prompt policy responses are crucial. Measures to get laid-off workers back into employment and to curb long-term unemployment are hugely important. Meanwhile, climate change and the inescapable need to shift to a competitive low-carbon economy have become priorities for urgent action. There is significant scope in Europe for creating new 'green' jobs and for 'greening' existing jobs in many sectors and professions. But if these opportunities are to be grasped, the right policies, based on a sound understanding of the key trends underlying efforts to respond to and mitigate the impact of climate change, must be put in place. Careful analysis being a key ingredient of good policymaking, I am confident that this year's Employment in Europe report will provide useful insights for the employment policy debate."
