By 2025, we can set the goal of full employment,

" said Minister of Labor Élisabeth Borne, at the microphone of BFM Politique this Sunday.

"

We train job seekers as we have never done before, we support them so that they can find a job,

" she added.

It estimates the number of permanently unfilled jobs at 300,000, when the unemployment rate reached 7.6% in the third quarter of 2021 according to INSEE.

The Minister of Labor added that the unemployment rate had been reduced to the lowest for more than fifteen years, "

to the level of 2008-2009 before the crisis

We are beating all hiring records, we have created more than 800,000 jobs during the five-year term,

While the Covid-19 is blazing in Europe, Élisabeth Borne urged "to

return to barrier gestures in business

".

However, the return to teleworking is not on the agenda.

The government is not embarking on the path of the health pass in business either, although requests have been made, she said.

The Minister also reaffirmed that employers will pay employees directly in December the inflation allowance of 100 euros for those who receive less than 2000 euros net.

Asked about the threshold effect, Élisabeth Borne replied: “

We wanted a simple device

”.

As for eligible retirees, they will receive this boost in February and category A unemployed in January.

Control of the unemployed and pension reform

On the subject of increased checks on the unemployed by Pôle Emploi, the Minister of Labor reiterated that there will be 25% more checks "

by improving the efficiency of the job search control procedure

". This simplified procedure will be implemented from December by the organization. Some 600 advisers will be dedicated to it. To all the criticisms formulated, the minister replied that the government is "

not at all in a simplistic speech

". "

We will continue to recontact job seekers, to offer them in-company immersions, tailor-made training

".

According to her, this tightening of controls is perfectly in line with the recruitment difficulties in certain sectors.

The government would also like to realign young people in research towards jobs in short supply, namely hotels and restaurants, industry, construction and digital technology.

Another sensitive subject of the end of the mandate, the pension reform.

"

The President of the Republic and the government think that this reform is essential so it will clearly be a priority reform in 2022

".

The bill, passed in the National Assembly, had been suspended due to the health crisis.

Not insignificant precision, "

the points system was not necessarily very simple and it could have caused concern

", adding that it would be "perhaps preferable" to abandon it.

The end of special regimes remains privileged by the Head of State.

Purchasing power

"

In this five-year period, purchasing power will have increased twice as much as over the previous two five-year periods,

" according to Élisabeth Borne.

From the start [...], we have been particularly attentive to the lowest wages and the middle classes.

This is why we abolished the housing tax

”.

Asked about the words of Eric Zemmour last Sunday on the same set, who refuted that for an equal occupation women are 18% less well paid (INSEE assesses this gap at 16.8% for equal working time according to 2017 data), the minister replied: “

Eric Zemmour's assumed sexism is extremely shocking.

We know that today for the same job, for the same job, there is a pay gap which is still around 9%

”.

A differential deemed "

not acceptable

", hence the establishment of the index on professional equality "

to ensure transparency on what each company does, in any case companies with more than 50 employees

".
