Pierre Gattaz was right: the companies have created... a million jobs in 5 years

"It is wrong to have reason too early", wrote Marguerite Yourcenar in 1951 in Memoirs of Hadrian. Pierre Gattaz, the ex-president of the Medef, who lost his place there for almost 14 months to Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, knows, him, who, since 5 years is mocked for having promised a time using a pin-yellow in the lapels of his jacket, the creation of a million jobs in five years. "There is no inevitability to the mass unemployment, was at it, then, in September 2014. When we say that everything has already been tried, it is false. You can go back to full-employment." And to enable companies to achieve this outcome highly unlikely, at this time France had established 28.200 jobs the previous three years, the ex-boss of the bosses suggested the government Valls, newly appointed, to initiate a real policy of supply and in-depth reform of the labour Code.

Some five years later, Pierre Gattaz can have the smile because his bet is, it is necessary to recognise, won. Or going to be. Since the inflection in the 3rd quarter of 2015 of the curve of job creation, which is precisely the last 17 quarters, the French companies have created no less than 945.200 jobs over the period, according to the latest available data published by the Insee. Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux has also implicitly acknowledged in his inaugural speech of #LaREF19, according to the new name given to the summer university of the Medef. "Every time that the government will trust us, we will present, he said to mean that the French contractors are aware of their duty and their responsibilities. A simple figure to illustrate this: between early 2015 and mid-2019, the private companies have created no less than 936.000 jobs".

Before insisting on the number by repeating it a second time, "936.000 jobs", and then make a nod to his predecessor: "it has to remember something to Pierre Gattaz," sitting in the 1st row of the grandstands of the hippodrome of Longchamp, but without going so far as to speak of the "million jobs"... Better if the current trend continues in the coming months (on the basis of 259.400 jobs created over the last 12 months, 64.850 per quarter), the million jobs promised by Pierre Gattaz in 2014 was achieved this summer, and the figures of the 3rd quarter 2019 -which will be unveiled this fall - the show. Better, the bar of the 1.1 million jobs created will be exceeded at the end of the year, when the gong of the 5 years will be given.

"Between early 2015 and mid-2019, the private companies have created no less than 936.000 jobs. It should remind something to Pierre Gattaz"

Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, August 2019

Contrary to widespread belief and spread on the sets of tv by the opponents of Emmanuel Macron (for example, Bruno Gollnisch, of the RN, not later than Tuesday evening on LCI), these excellent results not only to the creation of precarious jobs or new hires mainly in CDD: the rate of recruitment on permanent contracts has increased from 14.5% in 2017, or seven times more than that of the hires in the CDD. They do not explain that by the "Macron" in the past two years. This recovery actual employment in France -who arrived with a delay of one year on the calendar that was attached to the ex-head of State to rely on an inversion of the unemployment curve to be able to submit to the presidential 2017 - is in large part linked to the global economic recovery from 2015, and the reforms implemented by François Hollande during his quinquennium. The pact of responsibility and the YEAR first, which resulted in a reduction of 40 billion euros over three years the levies on enterprises; the law El Khomri 2016 then, which has opened the way to a real simplification of the labour Code and reverse-effective of the hierarchy of norms.

Since his election to the presidency in may 2017, Emmanuel Macron has actually served to perpetuate a trend that had begun before him. For proof, over the last 12 quarters -the last 3 years - year-on-year, the French firms have created on average roughly 250,000 new jobs per year (250.400 of the 3rd quarter 2016 2nd quarter 2017; 236.200 the 3rd quarter 2017 2nd quarter 2018; 259.400 the 3rd quarter of 2018 at the 2nd quarter of 2019). Thank you for that?
