Abstract: Between 2019 and 2024, employment growth was sustained – driven not only by an increase in labour supply but also by temporary factors, such as the decrease in real wages, the resumption of hiring in the public sector, and expansionary policies. There were also signs of structural change, including the spread of advanced services, in line with trends in other European countries. This paper documents the main changes in the composition of employment and in firms' wage policies, with particular attention to the sectors and occupations most influenced by technological change.
