After purchasing power, the government wants to tackle
"from the start of the school year"
in September the shortage of labor from which many sectors suffer, the Minister of the Economy said on Sunday.
Bruno Le Maire considered that
"this is the second emergency"
for the government,
"just after purchasing power",
a subject on which a bill was presented last week in the Council of Ministers.
"There is nothing more revolting or nothing more 'Schadockian', choose the appropriate word, than to still have so much unemployment, because we are not at full employment, and so many companies looking for employees, “
said the boss of Bercy, speaking at the Economic Meetings of Aix-en-Provence.

A reform tightening the conditions for accessing and maintaining unemployment insurance benefits came into force last fall, but the decree which reformed it is only valid until October 31.

Work “must pay better”
"It is unacceptable"
that many branches keep salary levels below the minimum wage, also regretted the minister.

"must pay better,"
he said, calling on right-wing parliamentarians to join the executive on this issue.
The strong man of macronie also said to
"reach out"
to LR deputies on public finances.
He wants to drive a change of method by constituting a
“task force”
in Parliament, so that
“it is the parliamentarians who take up the subject, and no longer the government”
.
This team will have to
“rethink in depth public spending”,
in order to question the choices for the use of public funds and to cut funding where they would no longer be justified.
