We were expecting a bad figure it is a wrong number

Since the month of August, are now applicants 160,000 of additional jobs that have been registered on the lists of the ANPE. In November, the number of unemployed in the main Barometer (persons immediately available, for a time in Commission, and having conducted more than a half-time in the month) flew, to 64.000 (i.e., 3.2), according to figures released yesterday by the ANPE and the Dares, the statistical service of the Ministry of labour. March 1993 record, where 54.600 additional unemployed were recorded in a month, is largely defeated.

On a year, rising now stands at 8.5, with a total of 2,068 million applicants for jobs in category 1 and endorses the brutal decline in economic activity provided for in the fourth quarter. Men are most affected by the increase ( 4.1 a month, 12 over a year), but also less than 25 years ( 3.3 a month, 14.3 over a year).

Goal 1 of the stimulus plan

The market for the interim freezing explains a part of the flight of November: registration for cause of end of mission progresses from 18.2 in three months over the previous three months, before the redundancies ( 13.1) and the purposes of term contracts ( 6.9). Employees in partial unemployment, which retain their contract of employment, are not registered with the ANPE.

While the Prime Minister, François Fillon, receives this morning his Secretary of State for employment Laurent Wauquiez, the Government highlighted yesterday stimulus measures. "This figure is awful, catastrophic." "It is unfair for our country", held at Strasbourg, Patrick Devedjian, Minister of the stimulus. "He justifies more than ever the recovery plan by the investment that we are implementing." Because the fight against unemployment is the primary purpose of this plan. It is for this that we have not restarted the consumption, which encourages first imports of products manufactured abroad.

A rationale by the entourage of the economy Minister, Christine Lagarde. "We were expecting a bad figure, it is a wrong number. But the stimulus measures to act on the employment, with AIDS to the hiring in the TPE and EUR 500 million for the support of the unemployed and the financing of the partial unemployment. "The improvement of reclassification custom convention (CRP) could also protect future economic licensees. But other reactivated tools such as the contracts aided since last summer, do not bear fruit.

In television in the French, this evening wishes, Nicolas Sarkozy will have to strive to reassure. "A social policy, is an economic policy which is at the service of investment, employment and growth", he said in November. He perhaps now more will be needed. "The unemployment figures require a change of direction", asked yesterday the CGT, while the first Secretary of the PS, Martine Aubry, has asked a recovery plan finally "the height of the difficulties". The head of State should also urge the social partners to sign the agreement on unemployment insurance (read below). Because the situation does not appear close to normalise: Insee still table on the destruction of 214.000 post employees in the market sector in the first half of 2009. Would only comfort, the unemployment rate, which began its rebound in the third quarter to 7.3 of the active population, reach "only" 8 in the second quarter of 2009, according to Insee. Far from the records of 1993 and 1997, where the rate of unemployment, reason, including, a dynamic workforce peaked much more than 12.
