568 thousand hires forecast by companies in June and almost 1.4 million by August. Tourism and manufacturing drive job demand. Permanent contracts are growing

Companies have planned around 568 thousand new hires in June (on fixed-term contracts lasting more than one month or on permanent contracts), reaching almost 1.4 million in the entire June-August trimester, with an increase of over 9 thousand units compared to June 2022 (+1.5%) and approximately 37 thousand units over the same quarter (+2.8%). In the month, tourism and manufacturing (respectively with over 7 thousand and 4 thousand hires more than a year ago) support the demand for labour. The forecast for permanent contracts is increasing (compared to June 2022 +12 thousand units; +14.8%), also as a result of the high difficulty in finding personnel, that stands at 46% (+6.8 pps on June 2022).
