Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt announces a new plan to fight hiring tensions through the creation of rapidly employable “pools of jobseekers” and a tightening of controls for “those who can work in a position of work in tension”, in an interview in Figaro released Thursday night.
The previous government had launched in September 2021 a dedicated plan by releasing 1.4 billion euros, including 900 million for 2021 and the rest in 2022 to train more employees and job seekers.
The minister assures that “the results are there: 380,000 job seekers have been supported in a year towards employment, including 280,000 long-term unemployed and among these, 146,000 very long-term. More than a million jobs were also occupied by Pôle emploi during the period”.

With the new plan, “it’s about going further and more efficiently,” he said, and he assured that he wants to “act on all fronts.”
He cites in particular the unemployment insurance reform that is coming and on which consultations will open on Monday, “to further accelerate the return to employment.” She also highlights the “training efforts”, which will be quickly mobilized and employable to cover the most stressed professions”, continues the minister.
Each agency will constitute a “pool” of 100 to 150 job seekers to cover the hiring needs of the three sectors “most in tension”, explains the minister. The idea is that they are “quickly operational” thanks to a brief training. The mechanism can be adapted according to the needs of the territories.
