The number of unemployed people in France rose to a fresh high in March 2013, official data shows. There are now some 3.2 million people seeking work in France, 11.5% more than a year ago and 1.2% more than in February, the labour ministry said. The number of jobseekers is the highest since records began in January 1996. The ministry does not express the jobseeker figure as a percentage of the work force, as done by the International Labour Organization.But it did say the unemployment rate was 10.2% at the end of 2012, and current unemployment had not breached the 10.7% high seen in 1997 |
