Up to 2.1 million jobs could be created in the European Union if the stimulus plan of the European Commission succeeds in attracting massive private investment and focuses on problem spots such as Greece, the UN labour body said Wednesday. According to dpa, the figure is considerably higher than the 1.3 million jobs projected by European Commission Vice President Jyrki Katainen on Monday. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker this year started drafting a three-year plan which aims at leveraging an EU fund of 21 billion euros (24 billion dollars) as a risk buffer to attract 315 billion euros of mostly private investments. If this investment target is reached without taking special job-boosting measures, it would translate into 1.8 million additional jobs, the International Labour Organization (ILO) said in a research report. If the investment flow were directed especially to countries with high unemployment, the job increase would rise to 2 million, and if training policies for high-skill jobs were added to the mix, the figure would reach 2.1 million, the ILO said.
