"Now wages and quality of work must increase" New positive data on the labor market in Trentino. The unemployment rate fell to 5.8 percent in March, from 7.3 percent in the same period last year. This is confirmed by Istat in the analysis of the workforce for the first quarter of this year. In total, there are 14 thousand people looking for a job in the province, four thousand fewer than 12 months ago. The decline in unemployment concerns both men and women: for the female component the percentage of unemployed is 4.9 percent, a clear recovery compared to 7.3 in 2017, for the male component it is 6.5 percent compared to 7.2 in 2017. On the employment front, the Institute's analysis reports an increase in the percentage of people with a job that goes from 65.1 percent in March 2017 to 67 percent in the same period of this year. For women, the employment rate is 61 percent, for men 72 percent. In total the employed are 243 thousand. “It is further confirmation of the recovery underway also on the employment front - says Franco Ianeselli -. In Trentino, as the administrative data show, there is a progressive consolidation of open-ended contracts, but above all an increase in fixed-term contracts ”. According to the secretary of the CGIL of Trentino, however, the stabilization of the labor market must go on the one hand to a greater strengthening of permanent employment contracts and on the other, in those sectors and companies characterized by the need for adaptation and seasonality, "From an enhancement of welfare tools to support these workers and accompaniment for those facing a transition phase". Ianeselli therefore insists on the need to strengthen the commitment in terms of quality. “For the workers in the company, more training opportunities and a convinced push in terms of participation are needed to manage innovation and organizational improvements - he continues -. For those who are unemployed, however, professional retraining actions are essential. The theme, as also emerged from the last Festival of Economics, is not to stop technological change, but to manage it to encourage growth. In this sense, the Pact for Development and Innovation, signed in recent days, identifies a shared path by laying the foundations for managing technological change in a positive key ". And in the face of companies that cannot find the professionalism they need on the market, Ianeselli recalls that the difficulty of matching supply and demand is a limit that many workers, often young and qualified, also face. “The distance can also be shortened in this case by investing on the one hand in the systematic and organic survey of the needs of businesses, and on the other by offering well-paid and quality jobs”.
