In July 2021, "
we lost nearly 37,000 full-time equivalent jobs compared to July 2019
" (-4.3%), this year serving as a comparison because it is the "
last year considered normal
", explained Isabelle Eynaud-Chevalier, general delegate of Prism'emploi, the federation of the temporary work sector, during a press conference.

“
We can compare ourselves globally to a market at the average level of 2017 with just over 824,000 full-time equivalent jobs,
” she continued, noting that this “
was not the maximum
”. In 2020, with the Covid-19 health crisis, the sector faced a collapse in its activity, which resulted in a decline of 23.6%, or the disappearance of 185,000 jobs, recalls Prism'emploi.
For the president of Prism'emploi, Gilles Lafon, the current situation is both marked by "
uncertainty
" linked to the health and political situation - with the upcoming presidential election - and economic activity, but also a certain "
confidence
”brought about by the recovery.
The latest data from INSEE, which differ from a methodological point of view, indicated that in the second quarter, temporary work continued to recover (+ 2.4%) for the fifth consecutive quarter, but remained 2 , 9% (-22,700) at its pre-crisis level at the end of 2019.
The interim CDI "
resisted
"
By sector, the Prism'emploi barometer shows that industry and construction are suffering the most (-8.6% and -8.3% over two years). Services (-4.4%) and trade (-2.1%) are "
a little less badly off
", only transport pulling out of the game with + 11.4%, detailed the general delegate. By region, the contrasts are "
considerable
", some being "
very marked for sectoral reasons
", such as Île-de-France "
red lantern
", she continued.
Prism'emploi also stressed that the temporary CDI, which allows minimum remuneration between missions, "
resisted
". With 48,726 full-time equivalents, it represents nearly 6% of temporary employment, officials continued, touting an “
anti-recruitment crisis
”.
The president of Prism'emploi said his hostility to an extension of the experiment of the CDI "
employability
" beyond the end of 2021, evoking a "
CDI at the discount
" which threatens the temporary CDI. According to the organization, this relatively unknown contract, created in 2018, is "
less expensive for user companies up to about 12% compared to the temporary CDI
" and "
less socially attractive
", having "
not the same social protection coverage and training needs
”.
