I would have to agree with you, more than 43%. It’s all about WHO you know compared to WHAT you know. No wonder the service here is bismal.

I didn’t literally mean 99 percent of jobs are gotten because of contacts. I meabt 98. HAHAHA!
I also know people who got jobs based on skills in Italy, me included. (when I do get jobs)
ANSA says the figure is really 43 percent. I disagree and think it is a higher percentage, maybe in the 50 or 60 range that get jobs through contacts. They are the ones with the scientic polls to back them up though, not.

lol, all true.
It’s a shame this is another issue we in Italy don’t really have the guts to come in the open about.
It is the evidence that mafia acutally exists, and it regards everyone.
I wouldn’t go as far as to say 99%. I personally know many hard women and men who made it without ‘contacts’. Strange thing they all work abroad now!
Anyway, they made it here and after all, I think Italy is one of the hardest country in the world where to work.
But it is also a good gym, as we say.
If you made it in Italy in a professional job, especially if creative or solitary enough, you can go to any rich Holland out there and show them.
