Labour Shortages Persist in Italy as Nearly Half of Job Openings Remain Unfilled

Share


Nearly 48.2% of job openings in Italy in March remained unfilled as firms struggled to find qualified workers, up from 47.9% in February, according to the Excelsior Bulletin released this week by Unioncamere and the labour ministry.

The report highlighted a growing mismatch between labour demand and supply, with certain industries particularly affected. Metalworking companies faced the greatest challenges, with 63.3% of vacancies proving difficult to fill, followed by mechatronics (62.1%), construction (61.3%), textiles, ready-to-wear, and footwear (61.1%), and wood-furniture firms (55.7%).

Among the hardest-to-find professionals were blacksmiths (75.7%), welders (75.6%), and mechanics and maintenance workers (73.7%), the bulletin noted.
