The study includes the data on labour market from 1945 to 1947, produced by Labour Offices of the Zone A-AMG Venezia Giulia (Allied Military Government). The data was from August 1945 to September 1947 collected by the labour offices in the A-AMG zone. In the ADP, the dataset is organized by economic sectors and by professional qualifications. For 6 economic sectors (public employment, industry, trade, banking and insurance, agriculture and maritime) and 23 professional qualifications, data shows the number of people (men, women, and juveniles) registered, removed from records, employed and unemployed. The source of the data is from archival sources from the State Archives in Trieste (Archivio di Stato di Trieste) and at the National Archives and Records Administration. It is the first in-depth study on the labour market throughout the whole period of the AMG administration, and during the transition to the rule of a post-WWII Republic. The data were collected within a framework of the "MSCA-IF Project 2019 We Can Do It! Women’s labour market participation in the maritime sector in upper Adriatic". A related study (HDS55 - doi.org/10.17898/ADP_HDS55_V1) includes the data for the zone FTT from September 1947 to October 1954, and for the territory of Trieste-Trst from November 1954 to October 1955.
