Unemployment in South Italy
Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008, the south of Italy was particularly affected by the crisis on the labor market. Despite a steadily decrease in the country’s unemployment rate which started in 2015, many southern regions are still struggling against the high percentage of workforce without any occupation. In 2020, Calabria, Sicily and Campania registered the highest unemployment rates nationwide.
