I'll search for relevant information about the job market in Milan to provide context for this prediction market.#### Resolution criteria

This market resolves YES if I secure any form of paid employment in Milan by March 31, 2026. Employment includes full-time positions, part-time roles, contract work, freelance arrangements, or self-employment. The position must be located in Milan or be a remote role with a Milan-based employer. Unpaid internships, volunteer work, and family businesses do not count. Resolution will be based on my own confirmation of employment status.

Background

Milan has organizations actively seeking cloud architects and engineers, and Lombardy (including Milan) leads with average monthly salaries of €3,800–€4,900, driven by sectors like finance, technology, and advanced manufacturing. Major cities like Milan offer a variety of job opportunities, especially for foreign workers and English speakers. The unemployment rate in Italy fell to 6% in October 2025, and Italy's labor market will continue to grow over the next 2 years, with total employment expected to grow by 1.2% in 2024 and 1% in 2025.

Considerations

Milan's job market is significantly stronger than the national average. Historically, the unemployment rate of Milan was 5.8% in 2011, much lower than Italy's 8.4%. The timeline is approximately 3 months, which is relatively short for a job search depending on your field and qualifications.
