at least since 2012. Record growth in futures contracts

Unemployment has reached its lowest level since 2012 and also falls among young people, but it is also a record of precarious contracts. And on the data published by Istat today controversy breaks out.

It is the Minister of Labor and Development and the 5 star chief Luigi Di Maio to go to the attack. "I was reading the data on employment, it is about celebrating the records, but let's stop calling them employment records, today we have a record of the precariousness of the Italian state, "stressed the deputy prime minister at a press conference." If we want to celebrate the work, it must be stable and dignified, "he added. "In the decree on dignity, we are going to dismantle that part of the job that created precariousness by starting to eliminate a series of institutions," he said. He then pointed out that the decree to be issued today in the Council of Ministers will contain "interventions on the fixed-term contract and increased protections."
