Italy's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for Q3 2026 reached 5.8%, edging up from the previous reading of 5.7% in Q2 2026 and matching the market consensus of 5.8%. The slight uptick in this data is primarily due to job seekers returning to the market, which lowered the inactivity rate. Supported by the EU Recovery Fund (PNRR), the overall core labor market remains robust and resilient.
