“The unemployment figures are, once again, bad.” The municipal councilor from the National Front unleashes a volley against a state (of affairs?) unable to stop this spiral.
They are bad because the current Government is bad. They are also bad because for thirty years our successive Governments have been unable to curb economic dumping, deindustrialization, the increase in tax pressure on small and medium-sized enterprises, and the bureaucratization of the country.
Beyond the national climate, it appears that our region is particularly affected by this unemployment surge with +1.1% in September. An identical figure to that of the Alpes-Maritimes department, placing our territory in the PACA average…
A small consolation for those who now find themselves unemployed, but above all a mediocre result when compared to the major announcements made by the Mayor of Nice regarding employment.
So Mr. Mayor:
- Where are the 50,000 jobs promised in 2012 with the creation of the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis?
- Where are the 27,000 jobs that were supposed to be induced by the Eco-Valley Project?
- More simply, what have you done with the Eco-Valley project?
Without wealth creation, there are merely job displacements, hollow announcements, and ultimately, mediocre results.
