Premier Giorgia Meloni on Thursday
expressed satisfaction at positive jobs data released by
national statistics agency Istat, saying the figures vindicated
the government's policies.
"The data Istat released today for the third quarter of 2024
confirm the good performance of the labour market," Meloni said.
"The employment rate is still growing, rising to 62.4%, and the
reduction of the unemployment rate has continued, at 6.1%, a
decrease of 0.6% compared to the previous quarter.
"These figures are a very encouraging sign. Supporting
businesses that create jobs and wealth is the road we have taken
and will continue to take, because it is the right one to get
Italy moving again and to be competitive".
