The number of unemployed job seekers exploded in France in April. The widespread confinement in force amid a health crisis resulted in an unprecedented monthly increase which brought the workforce in category A to a record of more than 4.5 million people.
According to data published Thursday, May 28 by the Ministry of Labor and Pôle emploi, the number of job seekers registered in category A - without any activity - in France (excluding Mayotte) jumped 22.6% last month, or 843,000 more people compared to March.
The number of unemployed workers registered a record 7.1% increase over one month in March in category A.
In total, the workforce in categories A, B and C only increased by 209,300, or + 3.6%. However, this constitutes "the largest monthly increase ever recorded" since the creation of these statistics in 1996, and the workforce crosses the bar of six million to 6.064 million for job seekers for the first time.
