(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 4 - Italian companies have been able to
hire less than half of the staff needed to meet their business
needs in September, according to a study by the chambers of
commerce union Unioncamere and the National Agency for Active
Labour Market Policies (Anpal).
Italian businesses were looking to hire 531,000 workers in
September, according to the study.
This is 7,000 more than in the same month in 2022.
However, they said they were struggling to fill more than
252,000 of the available posts.
"Lack of candidates" was cited as the reason in 31.7% of cases
and "inadequate level of preparation" in 12%.
Unioncamere and Anpal said toolmakers, carpenters, construction
workers specialised in finishings and blacksmiths are among some
of the most difficult workers to find. (ANSA).
