Labour and Industry Minister Luigi Di
Maio said Thursday some 280 million euros had been freed up to
revamp Italy's job centres.
He said it was a "clear signal to show our intention to be on
the front line with regional administrations to get labour
services working".
Getting the largely inefficient centres to work is a
precondition for the government's basic income job-seeking
allowance, which will give those in search of work 780 euros a
month as long as they accept job offers.
They will lose the benefit if they refuse three straight
offers.
