Italy's private sector
registered a net rise in the number of people it employed of
1.073 million in the first seven months of 2017 when contracts
that have been terminated are subtracted from new ones, pensions
and social security agency INPS said Thursday.
The rise is bigger than what was registered in the equivalent
periods of both 2016 and 2015.
The agency said the rise for the last 12 months was
significantly lower at 571,000.
It also stressed the high incidence of temporary posts, which
accounted for 501,000 of the net rise in contracts, compared to
18,000 for open-ended permanent jobs.
It said that, in the January to July period, steady jobs
accounted for 24.2% of all new hires, compared to 38.8 in the
same period in 2015.
