  2. The recovery is gaining momentum but there is no time for complacency • Unemployment has started to decline in the OECD, but further progress is requiredas the job recovery has not gone very fast yet. • People have borne considerable personal, economic and social costs that may prove to be long-lasting: • long-term unemployment remains persistently high, • many employees have experienced economic hardship. • Fixed term contracts are increasingly used for new hires, but they are not an automatic stepping-stone to permanent work. • Not just more jobs but also better jobs are needed.

  12. There is little sign of a trade-off between job quantity and job quality across countries…
