2021-05-02T01:37:38.494Z


EXCLUSIVE. For the first time, the weight of the ten largest cities in job vacancies fell over the first three months


A less stressful environment, a greener environment, economic and university infrastructures but also growing career opportunities and transport facilities.

If some had thought of leaving the big cities from the first confinement, a year later, the trend is confirmed, with an increase in the volume of job offers in the regions.

According to a study that we reveal exclusively, the “world after” could well benefit medium-sized cities.

Never seen.

HelloWork (ex-Regionjob), a digital player in employment who analyzed on these online platforms the changes in the dissemination of its offers in the 1st quarter of 2021, notes “for the first time a decrease in the weight of metropolitan areas in the job offer throughout the territory, since 36% were located in the ten largest metropolises in 2020, against 33% this year ”.

At the same time, cities on a human scale are attracting more and more Ile-de-France residents ready to move for the job offers that are developing there as well in CDI, CDD as temporary.

An unprecedented dynamic

This year, medium-sized towns located in the Pays de la Loire, Brittany or in the South-East are doing well. La Roche-sur-Yon (Vendée) thus tops this list.

The urban community of Angers Loire Métropole (Maine-et-Loire) also occupies the Top 10 in this ranking, as does its neighbor, Cholet (Maine-et-Loire).

Vannes (Morbihan), Dijon (Côte-d'Or), Besançon (Doubs), Annecy (Haute-Savoie) and Reims (Marne), also monopolize the first places.

"We are seeing the emergence of new poles of activity driven by the dynamism of construction and industry: sectors in which employment is more diffuse and less concentrated around large metropolises, where trade and service professions are more overdue due to the health and economic crisis, ”comments David Beaurepaire, director of HelloWork.

And if the volume of job vacancies in these ten most dynamic medium-sized cities is the equivalent of the volume of job vacancies located in Lyon Métropole (Rhône), their dynamic remains unprecedented.

A finding confirmed by the latest INSEE study on the business climate, published at the end of April.

Start-up in Dijon, construction in Vannes ...

As for temporary job vacancies, the lines are also moving.

The Lyon metropolis presents a greater number of offers, compared to last year at the same period.

Aix, Nantes and Lille, which respectively occupy second, third and fifth places, also show good economic momentum.

But how exactly to explain the dynamism of these cities where the economic growth is the strongest for the offers in CDI and CDD? "In Vendée, there is a very good fabric of SMEs and a real solidarity between the bosses", explains the economist and director of the Cercle de l'épargne, Philippe Crevel. Vannes "benefits from the attractiveness of a residence which draws the construction and real estate sector", he underlines. For its part, Angers benefits from the quality of its companies specializing in the agrifood sector and the presence of students from the large university center.

As for Dijon, "the start-ups have been back there for five to six years, and new activities are developing thanks to the strong cultural heritage of the city which could restart with the return of tourist activity in the coming months", describes David Beaurepaire.

In Besançon, the relocation of companies specializing in the watchmaking sector, and its proximity to Switzerland, plays in favor of economic dynamism, as in Annecy where the establishment of precision and mechanical industries energizes the employment.

Regions quickly accessible by TGV

In industry and construction, where there are not only production stations, as in other sectors, “the possibility of modifying the cursor on teleworking has strongly encouraged the acquisition of housing far from the workplace, in regions sometimes as quickly accessible by TGV as some cities in the greater Parisian crown ”, continues Emmanuel Jessua.

A phenomenon also linked, for Philippe Crevel, "to the cost of land in large cities, but also to the cost of living and the limitation of automobile traffic: an accumulation of factors which are particularly repulsive in these times of health crisis".

Reims, for example, attracts many Parisian buyers and undeniably benefits from the effect of successive confinements, and more than ten years later, continues to benefit from the effect of the arrival of the TGV, which connects the city to the capital. in less than an hour.
