Some 480,000 vacancies in service sector

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 7 - Confcommercio President Carlo Sangalli told the retail association's annual conference on Wednesday that there were around 480,000 job vacancies in the Italian service sector, adding that "there is a concrete risk of demand not being met in over 40%" of cases. He said that main reason for the shortage was that it was difficult to find candidates with the required skills to fill jobs.
    He called for interventions to "close the gap between training and businesses' needs" and the planning of "adequate flows of immigrant workers". (ANSA).
