Popis: A telephone survey dedicated to collect information concerning the opinions of Italians on the Eastern European skilled immigration, performed in January 2010, shows a country mainly concerned by unemployment, where just a minority, but not a negligible one, believes that immigration is a serious problem and Eastern Europe is only superficially known. However, many believe the Eastern European immigrationis excessive and not a few are convinced that itincreases the rate of criminality. In this framework, our survey shows an attitude concerning skilled migration from Eastern Europe much more benevolent than the one concerning general immigration from the same area. A large majority of our compatriots actually believe that it is appropriate that a graduate could practise his profession in any EU country, that it is wrong that a graduate from Eastern Europe receive a lower wage than an Italian performing the same job, that Eastern European graduates do not take jobs away from Italian graduates. Furthermore, Italians believe appropriate to enrol Eastern European graduates for qualified jobs when qualified Italian workforce is inadequate to the demand. This benevolent attitude does not explain the frequent cases of failure and the much more frequent cases of success only after a long and hard process of social ascent of Eastern European skilled migrants. In our view, these facts can be explained in two ways. First, the lack of qualified jobs in Italy, due to the peculiar nature of the Italian economy, forces most of the Eastern European graduate immigrants, fleeing from unemployment in their home countries, to accept unskilled jobs. Second, when graduate immigrant enters in this low level segment of the job market, they are not recognized by Italians as members of an elite group, but confused with the mass migration from Eastern Europe with regard to which Italians are much less benevolent.
