France has announced that it’s currently experiencing a
labour shortage in several industries despite having a 2.4% job vacancy rate
in 2023.
According to the report, the European Labour Authority (EURES) reports that the industries with the greatest shortages are manufacturing, construction, healthcare, IT, engineering, and agriculture.
The 2022 EURES report reveals that the most in-demand jobs
in France include accounting clerks, agricultural and industrial machinery
mechanics, applications programmers, bricklayers, building frame workers,
business services and administration managers, cabinet makers, cartographers,
civil engineering technicians, concrete placers, cooks, domestic cleaners,
earthmoving plant operators, electrical engineering technicians, electronic
mechanics, financial and insurance brand managers, forestry workers, healthcare
assistants, human resource managers, information and communication technology
operations technicians, manufacturing managers, mechanical engineering
technicians, metal processing plant operators, nursing associate professionals,
pharmaceutical technicians, physiotherapists, power production and plant
operators, printers, real estate agents, sewing machine operators, developers,
plant machine operators, structural metal preparers, tailors, dressmakers,
furriers, telecommunications engineers, vocational education teachers, and
welders and flame cutters.
According to a September story in the French newspaper Le
Monde, a large portion of the workforce in France is made up of immigrants,
many of whom work irregular hours without a visa. A portion of the
parliamentary majority led by President Emmanuel Macron viewed these employees
as vital. Authors, building attendants, cashiers, ticket clerks, gallery
technicians, general office clerks, graphic designers, journalists, associates
in the arts and culture, music teachers, public relations specialists, shop
supervisors, associates in social work, transport conductors, travel advisors,
and visual artists are among the oversaturated professions in France. EU, EEA,
and Swiss nationals are exempt from requiring a visa to work in
France; all other nationals must apply for a French work permit.
