Hundreds of Romanians show up at the job fair in Italy

Seven companies which mostly come from Western Romania are offering 1,500 jobs in engineering both for skilled and unskilled workers.  The Labor Force Agency also provides some 6,000 jobs in constructions, according to Cabinet secretary, Akos Derszi.

More Romanians are estimated to show up in the evening, Romanian Labor Minister Paul Pacuraru said, adding that the event has been successful so far. Pacuraru also mentioned that such fairs could be organized in Milan and Turin where the Romanian communities are larger as well as in Spain. The Romanian government plans to start a campaign to inform Romanians about not accepting work when not offered legal forms.  The Romanian embassy will provide counseling on the matter.

Employers who came to lure Romanian workers back in the country generally offer salaries from 400 to more than 1,000 euros. Workers said they are not willing to return for less than 1,300-1,500 euros per month.
Some 17,000 Romanian workers are active in the constructions industry, in Italy's Lazio-Rome area.
