Romanian textile industry losing ground amid job losses

Romania’s textile industry has lost around 40,000 jobs in the past year, according to The Romania Journal.

Mihai Păsculescu, president of the Employers’ Federation of Textiles, Garments and Leather, said: “From 160,000 jobs a year ago, only 120,000 remain now, after having dropped from 800,000 in 1990, and the number continues to fall due to the European directive on the introduction of the QR code.
