Jaguar Land Rover will cut 4,000 jobs over the next two years

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 14:37

Jaguar Land Rover will proceed with cutting 4,000 jobs over the next two years. This decision comes as part of a restructuring plan for the British automotive company.

The layoffs will happen mainly through voluntary redundancies, which means the company will offer workers the possibility of leaving their positions of their own accord, with associated compensations.

Jaguar Land Rover employs approximately 30,000 workers in the United Kingdom, which represents the vast majority of its workforce. In total, the company has more than 40,000 employees globally.

This cut represents approximately 10% of the company's total workforce, at a time when the automotive industry faces significant challenges, including the transition to electric vehicles and decreased demand in some markets.

Study field weighs more than type of institution in labor market entry

A study by Edulog on the labor market outcomes of Portuguese higher education graduates concluded that the study field is more determinant than the type of institution (university or polytechnic, public or private) to avoid unemployment and secure quality employment. The research analyzed graduates from 2016/17 and 2020/21 and revealed that fields such as Arts, Psychology and Natural Sciences present lower probability of unemployment than Engineering, while ICT and Engineering guarantee better salaries and professional satisfaction. The study also identified overqualification problems in Humanities, Services and Arts, and warned about the worsening situation of young graduates, with the percentage without disadvantages falling from 14.1% to 7.8%. Women continue to face lower salaries and higher risk of overqualification.
