Italy's employment rate climbed for
the fourth consecutive year in 2017, with a rise of 265,000
people in work taking it up to 58%, ISTAT said on Tuesday. The
national statistics agency said this was the highest level since
2009. It added, however, that it was still 0.7 of a percentage
below the peak reached at the start of the economic crisis in
2008. It said 23.23 million people were in work last year.
