Unemployment rose again in October and the outlook is bad, said Sunday the Minister for Employment, Xavier Bertrand, on the eve of the publication of these figures.
The number of unemployed in September reached its highest level since early 2000 to 2,780,500 for category A, the most observed.
"The truth is that the employment figures will not be good," said Xavier Bertrand when issuing the Grand Jury RTL-Le Figaro-LCI.
"And everyone knows they can not be good due to a crisis which does not come out again and even a crisis, the field is growing."
"Unemployment will increase in October," added Xavier Bertrand."As long as the economic situation will not improve, I do not see how the employment numbers will really improve."
