Unemployment fell for the first time in ten months
Ten months (June 2009, Ed) that the government was waiting for good news on the employment front! The number of registered unemployed at the employment center in group A (unemployed who have not worked at all during the month) has in fact declined by 0.2% in March, representing a decrease of 6,600 people on a months. In total, 2.7 million people were registered in late March in the reference category, an increase of 9.8% over one year.
But the thinning stops there because the number of jobseekers registered in the four other categories increases. And sometimes significantly: +2% in group BC (24,700 unemployed persons who worked more or less than 78 hours in the month), 2.4% in category D (6200 unemployed in training, education or health) to +3 8% in group E (11,400 unemployed in assisted contracts). Worse, over one year variations ranging from 18.3% (Class BC) to + 36.4% (Class E).
"The increase in categories C, D and E reflects both the recovery of Acting as an employment policy more active, more job seekers in training and subsidized contracts," Marie-grade Claire Carrere-Gee, President of the Advisory Council for Employment which welcomed the "significant slowdown for several months" the number of unemployed.
In other words, the social treatment of unemployment is running at full output during the crisis. Difficult, therefore, welcome a decline in unemployment in France (including overseas departments) where 4,130,000 people "required to make positive job search" was recorded at the end of March employment center. 0.5% more than a month ago and 12.5% a year ago.
As usual, most 50 year olds still have suffered in March, with growth still disturbing number of entries: +1.1% in group A and +1.5% in ABC."Without strong political will, these jobseekers were statistically unlikely to rush out of trouble, consider Marie-Claire Carrere-Gee. Passed the fifties, it is very difficult to find work, moreover in an economy that barely found his breath. "And, even more than" half of the unemployed over 50 years are unemployed Long-term, "she insists. Conversely, young shoot for the fifth consecutive month hold their own while benefiting from a decline of between 0.5 (Class ABC) and 1% (A) enrolled.
Lower radiation
Another black spot: the share of jobseekers in employment center for over a year continues to increase (+0.7 percentage points in one month and up 5.1 in one year) to represent 35.3% of registered voters. As for seniority, it reached 415 days on average, an increase of 29 days in a year.In fact, only the registered unemployed for less than a year benefit from the upturn in March with a decline of 0.7% of their enrollment and reduced to 4.1% increase over one year.
As grounds for release of employment center, march to a significant reduction in the number of radiation administration (-7.9% in one month) and a stagnation of terminations for default updating entries (0.8%). The collection of jobs is up 2.9%, including the jobs of more than 6 months were up 7.4% in a month.
