\n More jobs, but still too little stable work. This is the snapshot of the labor market in the province of Salerno in the first six months of 2026, as captured by the Cgil Salerno. The numbers tell the story of a province that continues to generate opportunities, but where the quantity of new hires does not yet match the quality of employment. From January to June, Salerno-based companies planned 62,290 job entries. However, over 46,300 of these are fixed-term contracts: more than 74 percent of the total. Permanent contracts number just over 8,200, about 13.2 percent. Even considering apprenticeships, stable work remains below 16 percent. \u201cIt\u2019s not enough to count how many people enter the labor market,\u201d emphasizes Antonio Apadula, general secretary of Cgil Salerno. \u201cWe need to understand what kind of work is being offered, how long it lasts, how many hours it involves, what salary is guaranteed, and above all, what conditions of safety and stability are provided. Our province needs good jobs, not just jobs.\u201d The equation The ratio between stable and temporary work is particularly significant: for every permanent hire, there are more than five fixed-term hires. This data should be read with caution because these are contractual flows: the same person may be involved in several short-term relationships or in successive rehirings. Therefore, the number of planned entries does not automatically correspond to the number of employed people. The market is driven mainly by services, which account for about 42,400 entries, just under seven out of ten. Industry, including construction and public utilities, counts about 13,100, while agriculture, forestry, hunting, and fishing reach about 6,700. The driving force Tourism represents one of the main engines of employment. In the accommodation, restaurant, and tourism services sectors, planned entries rise from 1,020 in January to 1,240 in February, then up to 2,810 in March, 3,590 in April, 2,610 in May, and reach 4,140 in June. These numbers clearly illustrate the weight of the tourist season on the province, from the Amalfi Coast to Cilento, including the capital and the main seaside resorts. But it is here that one of the main issues highlighted by Cgil emerges: seasonality is physiological, but it must not become permanent precariousness. \u201cSeasonality must be managed,\u201d explains Apadula. \u201cTourism and commerce can represent an extraordinary opportunity for the province, but not if the model remains that of short-term contracts and involuntary part-time work.\u201d The appeal Cgil therefore calls for measuring the quality of employment through a series of indicators: contract duration, working hours, pay, application of collective contracts, and safety. Particular attention is given to business services, cleaning, multiservices, and security, sectors where tenders and management changes can increase job fragility. Even in justice, staff hired on a fixed-term basis through the PNRR has become crucial. At the Salerno Court, as of December 31, 2025, there were 345 administrative units, 159 of whom were hired under the Plan, over 46 percent of the total. Health and justice are not included in the 62,290 planned entries from the Excelsior system, which refers to private companies, and the expected entries do not necessarily coincide with actual hires. Hence Cgil\u2019s proposal for a permanent provincial observatory on work, to cross-reference data and measure contracts, hours, wages, stabilizations, and real hires. \u201cWe have to measure real work,\u201d stresses Apadula, \u201cbecause the numbers on entries alone do not tell the condition of workers.\u201d Special attention to young people, because precariousness, low wages, and few prospects fuel the emigration of skills. And precisely because of the different characteristics of the capital, the Coast, Agro, Piana del Sele, Cilento, Vallo di Diano, and inland areas, Cgil finally calls for a provincial plan for work and for the post-PNRR period, to be shared with institutions, businesses, unions, universities, and local territories. <\/p>\n
