The subject returns every month on the table, with the famous publication of the figures, since 2012 (and before, of course), have always been bad. For that to way less, official statistics rank the unemployed in different categories under which employment center operates as needed decanting going well. But this is not enough. Just for “Category A”, that is to say that counting those who really do not work at all, France had in June 3.553 million unemployed.

Simple lists cleanings

This appalling figure should wave a country plunged into its traditional summer torpor, but it is not so: we continue to witness, helpless and inactive, our stalemate. The government is only pretending to care of the subject, with measures like the development coaches should make everyone laugh, especially when, at the same time, the same government banned UberPOP, a service that actually gave work people!

So, yes, it takes to clean up all activities and public bodies from floor to ceiling, and integrate the idea, difficult for an eternal President of the General Council, that the salvation of our country will not come from a endless increase in recruitment in local communities. It requires, in fact, for socialists, to go against almost all they have defended so far, which means that even with all the goodwill of Emmanuel Macron, he There will be no miracle.
