Answer

Could the laying hen limit in Llucmajor affect local jobs?

Yes, a smaller flock may reduce the need for labour and could lead to income losses or layoffs, especially for workers who depend on seasonal agricultural work. That is why local voices are asking for a phased transition and support for retraining or alternative tasks. The challenge is to improve environmental conditions without leaving employees without options.
