Rising unemployment: 15800 job seekers in addition, new record – Le Parisien

Over the whole year 2015, employment center hosted 89,900 additional unemployed (2.6%) is the lowest increase since 2010.

 According to Myriam El Khomri, Minister of Labour, these poor results reflected “including the effects of the decline in activity recorded by several sectors in the context that we have experienced in November and December.”




 The long-term unemployment is gaining ground

All categories, unemployment rises with 33,200 job seekers more in December than in November, an increase of 0, 6%. This brings the number of people registered at employment center to 5,475,700 in the metropolis (5,779,600 with overseas).

In one year (December 2014-December 2015), total unemployment rose by 5.2%.

Among young people, the number of job seekers under 25 registered in category A climbing 0.7%. Of all the categories, it is up 0.6% over one month. In both cases, the trend is decreasing year on year, respectively, with a drop of 4 and 0.5%. However, the situation is deteriorating inexorably seniors (+ 0.6% over the month, + 8.4% yoy)

Another black spot. The long-term unemployment, which continues to gain ground. End of 2015, 2.47 million job seekers, small business included, were registered at employment center for over a year, a figure up 0.8% in December and 9.5% over the year . Result: the age of the enrolled increased by one month (31 days) in a year. An average job seeker pointing at employment center for about 19 months (570 days).

Upward trend in the quarter


 In recent months the employment center indicator has fluctuated significantly, but beyond monthly developments, deemed highly volatile, the unemployment curve shows a real upward trend, with 42,800 more unemployed in Class A (no activity) in France in Q4.

According to a recent analysis of Dares, service of Ministry statistics, Pôle emploi figures are indicative of a trend from a Quarterly evolution of 35,000.

The government wants to combat this scourge through vocational training. It will mobilize one billion euros, as part of his plan “emergency” for employment, to allow 500,000 additional unemployed people to train for careers of the future (digital, environment …) or trades shortage of work. A plan complemented by a new signing bonus.

François Hollande hopes that this effect will be felt this year. The president has often said he would not have the legitimacy to seek a second term in 2017 without decline “credible” in unemployment in 2016. Since his election, 667,400 additional unemployed have crossed the threshold of a Pôle emploi agency. If the government is optimistic, the decline should not be massive as observers.
