In this sentence, the word "workers" should actually be spelled "worker's" since it is being used in a possessive sense with "jobs"


The word "workers" is plural, so you would use it in a situation with more than one worker, for example: The workers were happy to receive higher wages.

The sentence should be written:
Thousands of workers' jobs' have been lost.
I hope this helped :)
