Italy's labor market showed a decline in November 2025, with a loss of 34,000 jobs and a drop in the employment rate to 62.6%. The decline primarily affected women, self-employed, and fixed-term workers, while men and older workers remained stable. Despite a decrease in unemployment to 5.7%, inactivity rose significantly, with 72,000 more people not seeking work. However, the longer-term trend shows a 0.3% increase in employment over three months and a year-on-year rise of 0.7%, indicating a generally positive outlook despite the November dip.
