The number of category A unemployed falls below 3 million

According to figures from the Ministry of Labor, the number of job seekers without any activity fell by more than 28,000 people in February compared to January.

The number of job seekers registered in category A (without activity) decreased in February compared to the previous month (-0.93%) with 28,100 fewer unemployed up to 2,996 million, according to figures from the Ministry of Labor published this Monday. Including the reduced activity (categories B and C), the number of job seekers in France (excluding Mayotte) fell by 0.41% (-22,300) and stood at 5,366 million, according to the statistics service of the Ministry of Labor ( Dares).

The share of long-term job seekers (registered for one year or more) is 43.9%. Dares does not comment on the monthly data, which is too volatile and favors quarterly changes.

A decreasing number in the last quarter of 2022

The last quarterly results published at the end of January had reported a sharp decrease in category A unemployed, 3.6% in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the previous quarter, that is, 114,400 fewer registered. But including reduced activity (Pôle Emploi categories B and C), the number of job seekers only fell by 0.8%.
