(Finance) – The MIC – Misery Index Confcommercio Of September 2023 he attested to 15.4, unchanged compared to August. The stabilization recorded in the last month is the synthesis of a modest slowdown in inflation for goods and services with a high frequency of purchase and a limited increase in unemployment extended. The data on unemployment – underlines Confcommercio – must be evaluated with extreme caution in consideration of the evolution of the various components: on the one hand, there is a more active participation of the population in the job marketon the other hand, there is an increase in requests for workers’ income support (CIG and FIS) by companies.

These dynamics brought the official unemployment rate to 7.4% (7.3% in August).
In the same month the authorized hours Of IGC they were just over 37.2 million, to which are added almost 569 thousand hours for allowances paid by solidarity funds. In terms of CIG hours e FIS actually used, seasonally adjusted and returned to Ula, it is estimated that this corresponds to just under 96 thousand standard work units.

The slowdown, smaller than that recorded by the overall data, does not currently appear sufficient to bring about the request on a more favorable path.
There trust to families depends, in fact, on the perception of the variation in the prices of goods and services purchased in high frequency, a dynamic that is still high, albeit decelerating. At the same time, the signs of difficulty emerging in some sectors in maintaining the levels employment make it difficult to imagine a rapid return to the area of social hardship.
