2025 trend

The 2026 Report on the economy of the provinces of Lucca, Massa-Carrara and Pisa, prepared by ISR with the Chamber of Commerce of Tuscany North-West, reports economic growth of 0.2% for Pisa in 2025, services broadly holding up and a positive contribution from high-tech sectors and pharmaceuticals. In 2025 the airport recorded its best result ever, close to 6 million passengers. Difficulties remain in traditional manufacturing, in the fashion sector and in access to credit for micro-enterprises.

Exports

According to ISR's note on 2025 exports, exports from the province of Pisa grew by 2.0% compared with 2024, with signs of recovery driven by pharmaceuticals and clothing, while traditional sectors such as leather and cycles remain in difficulty.

Job centres

In Tuscany the job centres (Centri per l'impiego) are run by ARTI, the Tuscan regional employment agency, and offer free services to job seekers and to businesses that are hiring. In the Pisa area ARTI lists the offices of Pisa, Pontedera, Santa Croce sull'Arno and Volterra; vacancies are also published on the regional Toscana Lavoro portal.

The figures refer to the whole province of Pisa, not only the city. For updated data see the publications of ISR and of the Chamber of Commerce of Tuscany North-West.
