It is now less than 100 000 per year and should soon pass below 50,000. Recognize the, the first reactions of the Government and the social partners were adequate.

Fight against the shortages of jobs. The France has a high unemployment rate and labour shortages. Sectors are struggling to recruit: Hotel and catering, road transport, building, public works. Others show strong needs: support of dependent persons will make necessary 40,000 recruitments per year over the next ten years! Finally, it Miss engineers and technicians, while we should capitalize on technological innovation. Accept the principle of differentiated for shortage jobs treatment: increase in teaching and scholarship, premium special learning, improved employment contract, priority of access to training and improving the conditions of compensation to the unemployed who are converting.

This new employment policy will find its full effectiveness if it is negotiated with the social partners.
