(ANSA) - Rome, December 7 - ISTAT said Thursday that the
number of discouraged workers in Italy - people who are not on
the labour market because they think there are no jobs available
for them - has dropped by around 100,000 in less than a year.
It added, however, that the overall number of discouraged
workers in Italy was still high at 1.651 million, over a million
of whom are women.
