Recruitment on the rise in France
150,000 more job offers in 2017 than in the previous 12 months
Pôle Emploi expects to advertise close to two-million jobs this year, it has announced.
That figure is 150,000 more than in 2016, an increase of 8.2%, according to Pôle Emploi's figures.
The service industry should dominate the French job market, with personal services, such as housekeepers and home-help operations expected to account for 40% of employers' hiring intentions. Business services, meanwhile, make up 25%. Construction and manufacturing hiring expectations are also noticeably up on 2016 figures.
A sizeable portion of the jobs are seasonal, however.
As expected, recruitment rises are concentrated mainly in the major cities, but small and medium-sized enterprises, with fewer than 10 employees are also expanding. Their staff searches account for 46% of Pôle Emploi's job offers.
