Unemployment is rising again in February to 3.59 million job seekers without any activity, an increase of 1.1% in a month: a cold shower for the government after the sharp drop recorded the previous month.
the irony of the calendar, these numbers fall on the day of the presentation by the Council of Ministers of Labour Bill, reform the executive appears as a response to mass unemployment.
in February, the number of job seekers without work rose sharply, with 38,400 new subscribers in France.
This sharp increase largely erases a significant drop registered by registered in January pole employment: 27,900 persons less than in late December 2015. But statistics services had referred to the “unusual and unexplained” events that made interpretation difficult drop
the jump registered in February, the. highest since September 2013, was due “largely” by passing into class A (no activity) of persons registered in categories B and C (activity) “in previous months,” analyzes the Minister for Employment Myriam El Khomri in a statement.
with the job seekers who had a small business, employment center lived in the end of February 5.46 million registered (3100) in France and 5.77 million . including overseas, an increase of 0.3% three months
the rise was most dramatic on-year, 3.7% in France and 3.6% in France entirely.
compared with January, the numbers are wrong both in regard to young people under 25 years (+ 0.5% in category A) seniors (+ 0.9%).
for the long-term unemployed, rising, small business range is + 0.3% on month but above 8.5% year on year.
These poor figures that follow “very strong variations from month to month,” “invite to intensify the action” of the government, said Ms. El Khomri from Rosny-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis).
Since June 2012, the number of class a of unemployed increased by 647 400 in France. But 2015 had shown signs of improvement. Unemployment posted its smallest increase since 2010 and the economy has created more than 82,000 jobs merchants, after destroying three years
and despite a sluggish global climate, French growth should regain energy in 2016, according to INSEE expects a growth rate of 0.4% in the first and second quarter, thanks to a rebound in consumption, investment sustained and buoyant exports.
But in the meantime, there is not “enough jobs to trigger mechanics falling unemployment,” notes Mathieu Plane, an economist at the OFCE.
Francois Hollande has reiterated. reversing the unemployment curve, it promised before the end of 2013, will determine his candidacy for a second term in 2017
on Thursday, Republicans lambasted “the employment disaster”, the February figures confirming the “continuing failure” of the president.
the head of state declared earlier this year “the state of emergency “against unemployment by announcing a comprehensive training plan for 500,000 additional unemployed and a new premium hiring for TPE-SMEs.
the executive has launched an ultimate reform of labor law, with an expected impact on employment, but in the longer term. Objective:. Enable companies to better adapt to the vagaries of the economy via increased flexibility of working time and encourage hiring on permanent contracts rather than CSD
The project challenged by part of trade unions and youth organizations: they were still thousands – 43,000, according to the Ministry of Interior in the streets Thursday to demand its withdrawal before March 1 day of Action 31′s call CGT, FO, FSU, Solidaires, UNEF, UNL and Fidl.
But it is also criticized by the employers themselves, who denounced the withdrawal of measures to promote employment in TPE-SMEs as capping prud’homales allowances. Reacting to the figures, Medef has called for “a return to the initial ambition of Labour bill” in order to “liberate the creation of sustainable jobs.”
Conversely, the CGT again demanded its withdrawal and called for a new “reduction of working time” to exit a position become “dramatic”.
