Labor shortages in Tuscany sectors

Overview

Tuscany is experiencing labor shortages across multiple sectors, including education and hospitality.

In the education sector, schools are facing significant staffing shortages and increased precarious employment. In Florence, approximately 120 to 130 teaching positions remained unfilled, while over 300 teachers reportedly declined permanent roles. Labor unions attribute this to the high cost of living, noting that rising rents and utilities can create a monthly deficit for educators. Shortages also affect administrative and support staff, with many vacant positions remaining unfilled.

Simultaneously, the tourism and catering sectors are facing a sustained demand for skilled personnel that extends beyond the summer season. In the province of Livorno, data indicates a structural mismatch between labor supply and demand. To address these needs, new culinary training programs, such as a “Kitchen Technician” course in Livorno, have been introduced to provide professional certification and internships for young individuals.
