Pensions-and-social-security agency
INPS said Thursday that Italy had 660,000 fewer people in work
in December compared to the same month in 2019, when number of
labour new contracts activated and the number of those
terminated is calculated.
INPS said the net number of people working on permanent
open-ended contracts actually increased by 259,000.
But the number of people employed on other forms of contract
plunged by 919,000 as the COVID-19 pandemic hit the labour
market hard.
This included a drop of 493,000 in the number of workers on
temporary contracts.
