Around 380 thousand job positions were created in 2022, a value higher than that recorded in 2019, before the health emergency.
This is what the joint note on the labor market issued by the Ministry of Labour, Bank of Italy and Anpal indicates, in which it is underlined that the 2022 budget "is largely positive, but the slowdown in the labor market at the end of the year is confirmed".
The growth in employment during the year is exclusively attributable to the permanent component
: over 400,000 stable jobs were created.
In the first eleven months of 2022, the number of unemployed decreased by around 120,000, a significant though less pronounced reduction than in 2021 (-350,000 in the same period).
The slowdown in the labor market in the second half of 2022 was in fact reflected in an increase in the number of unemployed.
The decline in the number of unemployed in the first half was in fact followed by a recovery starting from the end of the summer, accentuated in the autumn, when many fixed-term contracts came to an end, explains the report.
ALMOST ONE MILLION NEW JOBS OVER THE TWO
-YEAR PERIOD Nearly one million new jobs were created in the private non-agricultural sector (net of terminations) in the last two years.
Bank of Italy and Anpal therefore underline that "the recovery has completely reabsorbed the fall caused by the health emergency".
In particular, as the data indicate, in 2021 net activations were +602 thousand and in 2022 +382 thousand (in total +984 thousand).
