France: The decline in industry since 2008 has profoundly worsened the labour market situation

Manufacturing employment and industrial production capacity have declined markedly in France since the 2008 crisis. This development has profoundly worsened the labour market situation: Manufacturing jobs have been replaced with service jobs paying a markedly lower wage level; The mismatch between labour supply and demand has worsened (the employees that have lost a job in industry must be able to find a job in services), which explains the rise in hiring difficulties and in unfilled job vacancies, and therefore the rise in structural unemployment.
