Invited on RMC this Friday, the Minister of Labor Elisabeth Borne was asked about the proportion of unemployed people actively seeking employment.
“When we do checks, the majority of job seekers are actively looking for a job.
There are about 15% who are not sufficiently active in their job searches, who may have a sanction, therefore a temporary abolition of their allowance, ”
replied Elisabeth Borne.
The minister confirms that the government wants to tighten controls.
"We will increase controls by 25%
,
"
said Elisabeth Borne.

This announcement follows Emmanuel Macron's speech on November 9.
The president was annoyed to see that a large number of job offers remained unfilled while unemployment still concerns more than 3 million people in France.
“This situation clashes with common sense,”
lamented Emmanuel Macron.
The Head of State had thus announced an intensification of the controls carried out by Pôle Emploi and had warned: "
Job seekers who do not demonstrate an active search will have their allowance suspended
".
