Withdrawal Symptoms: Employees & The Russia Exodus Following the introduction of sanctions against Russia by a large number of countries, more than 330 companies have announced their withdrawal or suspension of activities in that market, according to the Yale School of Management. With a wide range of measures, from the partial or temporary suspension of their operations to the closing of offices and the permanent exit from the country, this list includes some of the most renowned companies at a global level. In fact, as Statista''s Martin Armstrong details below , some of them,are responsible for several tens of thousands of jobs, such as McDonald''s.

Russian citizens, now unable to spend at IKEA, McDonald''s or Starbucks, are not allowed to convert any of the money they do have into foreign currency. Generous estimates suggest the Russian economy could shrink by 7% next year, instead of the 2% growth that was forecast before the invasion. Others say the drop could be as much as 15%. Such a fall would be bigger than the 1998 crash of the Russian stock markets - a major shock to an economy which has hardly seen any growth in the last decade, and failed to diversify away from exporting oil and gas. Meanwhile the European Union is planning to drastically decrease its energy dependency on Russia, while the the US and the UK have begun to phase out their own, more limited, imports.

JP Morgan Hires Ex-Jailbirds As Staffing Shortage Worsens As JP Morgan and the other major Wall Street banks struggle to hire enough personnel, Insider reports that the banks are now turning to an unlikely place: the largest bank in the US has hired thousands of people with criminal records and hundreds with disabilities like autism, Brian Lamb, JPMorgan''s global head of diversity, equity, and inclusion revealed during an interview on Thursday. In total, the bank employees more than 200K people around the world. But right now, the company is "tapping into the talent pools that have historically been left behind," Lamb said. This includes people who have formerly been incarcerated, who typically have a more difficult time getting hired. As we noted early last month , the US had 4.6 million job openings according to the latest data released in February.
