In the commercial tertiary sector, excluding temporary work, private salaried employment continued to increase notably in the second quarter: +0.8% or +93,200 jobs, compared to +0.7% in the previous quarter.
This dynamism explains most of the increase in total salaried employment, both in the quarter and in the year. The accommodation and restaurant sector contributed the most to the overall increase in the quarter (+29,800 jobs). Industrial employment (excluding temporary workers) increased by 0.3% in the second quarter of 2022 and by 1.1% in a year.

In construction, salaried employment remained stable in the second quarter of 2022, at a level 6.3% higher than at the end of 2019. Finally, salaried employment in the non-market tertiary sector barely increased in the second quarter of 2022 (+0.1%). or +12,300 jobs), which raises the increase to +0.5% in one year and +2.1% compared to the end of 2019.
