Human Resources
Italian term or phrase: sacche di precariato
lo sviluppo dell'impresa non solo rappresenta una delle strade principali per vedere aumentare la richezza regionale ma può consentire di rispondere alle esigenze occupazionali senza creare sacche di precariato.

i can't tell if "sacche" is informally used here to mean "a lot of"?

English translation:(local) groups of people without job security
Explanation:
as far as I can see "sacche" refers to clusters/groups/physical concentrations of people in a certain area. There may be a better way to say it, though.
