Some 9.1 million vouchers for
occasional work were issued in February, 4.9% fewer than the
same month in 2016, the INPS pension and social security agency
said Thursday.
The government has scrapped the much-abused vouchers averting
a union-sponsored referendum.
INPS also said the number of steady job contracts fell 6.9%
in January to 154,363.
The difference between hirings and firings was positive to
the tune of 31,768 units, however.
Disciplinary sackings in firms with more than 15 employees
rose 31% in 2016 over 2015, INPS said.
There were 32,232 such firings, the agency said.
Hiring and firing rules were eased by the government's Jobs
Act labour market reform.
