After the decline recorded in the previous month, the figures from Pôle emploi are still struggling to show a clear trend on the unemployment front, confirming their reputation for high volatility.
Since the beginning of the year, the Pôle emploi indicator has alternated between six months of increases and four months of decreases, reflecting a volatility that earns it significant reservations from economists and statisticians.
In the Alpes-Maritimes, unemployment is still rising: +0.5% between September and October, +0.6% over the past year.
Youths under 25 are the age group where the number of unemployed is increasing the most, with a 1.3% rise in October. The number of job seekers with no activity at all amounts to 70,770 people (category A) in the Alpes-Maritimes.
In all categories, Pôle Emploi counts 116,900 registered individuals.
More locally, in the territory of the Nice Côte d’Azur metropolis, the trend is less negative with an increase of “only” +0.1% (stable over the year).
In detail, unemployment increased in October among those under 25 (+1.8%) and decreased for those aged 25-49 (-0.6%).
