In 2012, Italy is the country where financial stress has had the greatest consequences: this is what we read in the report of the EU Commission on employment, from which the "Belpaese" emerges with more than broken bones. “Economic stress has had repercussions in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, Portugal, Greece, Spain and especially in Italy, where the population in economic difficulty has risen to 15%.
“Following weak or negative growth productivity is falling in the EU and Italy recorded by far the sharpest drop: -2,8% in the last quarter of 2012, after the even steeper drop of 3% in the previous quarter”: this is what they write again from Brussels in its report on employment in European countries published today.
Just about employment Italy is the country, among the largest in Europe, where unemployment in the last quarter of 2012 underwent the most marked acceleration compared to the previous quarter (+0,5%), followed by Poland (+0,3%), Spain (+0,1%) and France (+0.1%).
