Foreigners working in Italy are more than two million. Of these, 60.7% are located in the North, 26.7% have a job at the Centre and only 12.6% are employed in the South The scenario outlined by Istat on foreign labor forces again divided into two distinct parts the country. The data refer to the last quarter of 2010 and certainly can not capture fully the world of the underground economy, but shed light on the location of large portion of workers without an Italian passport. The main observations drawn on the statistics provided, in fact, a large identikit of the phenomenon. The vast majority of foreign workers are employed and almost one in six, 16%, is precarious, a share higher than the national as well as the number of those who work part-time, 22.2%, is higher than given the average Italian.

We face, therefore, to occupations less 'rooted', although the level of education of those who find work in Italy is not so low, given that more than half of them, 56%, is in possession of a diploma or a degree. In detail, 45.3% has the maturity, 10.7% an academic certificate (undergraduate or postgraduate), 33.4% was the only middle school and 10.6% only primary education. Turning to the sectors of activity, most, 59.6%, is employed in services, 36% in industry, and only a small proportion, 4.3% placed in agriculture. But in the latter the incidence of undeclared work makes a difference. With regard to the profession, stands the high percentage of unqualified personnel, 39.2%, while it is extremely low, 1%, the number of those who make the entrepreneur or manager. All this, note by Statistics, at a time when the number of foreigners who are employed in Italy increases, their ranks, from the fourth quarter of 2009 to the same period of 2010 have been expanded to 179,000 units, and the unemployment rate, although decreasing slightly, remains high and higher than that reported for Italian citizens.
It grows, however, from 26.7% to 29.2%, the share of foreign inactive, those, namely, that neither have jobs nor seek him. According to Istat is a level below that total, but probably indicates that, with the crisis, even among those who are not Italian citizens themselves known phenomena of discouragement. The dynamics that have traversed the world of work in the country, therefore, also affect foreign workers.
