France’s jobless rate lowest since 1983

France’s national statistics agency said Thursday that the country’s jobless rate has fallen to 7.8 percent, its lowest level since 1983.The Insee statistics agency says the drop in the fourth quarter of 2007 was the lowest rate since the fourth quarter of 1983. It fell from 8.3 percent in the third quarter. Insee says the rate is even lower if only metropolitan France is counted, standing at 7.5 percent, or 2.1 million people.

Cutting jobs has been a priority of successive French governments, and President Nicolas Sarkozy has put it at the top of his list, too. But he told the daily newspaper Le Figaro that the economy needs reforming to create jobs and reduce deficits.

    1968 All Over Again
    ===================
    with today’s disturbing news about the domestic terror attack in NYC (probably done by an anti-military leftist), the upcoming chaotic Dem convention, and a nation at war, I feel 1968 is happening all over again.
