French Hope Dashed As Joblessness Surges Back Towards Record High
For the second time in 6 months, French joblessness has re-surged back towards record highs, dashing the hopes and dreams of a European recovery. The first time it was thousands of texts that didn't get sent that implied joblessness dropped, this time, no excuse and we push back to within 2k of the all-time high unemployment in France. As Germany heads inexorably in the other direction, one can only hope the French President does not decide to take matters into his own hands and 'draft' the youth into employment.

Socialism FTMFW
Socialism is NSFW - it is not working, plain and stupid.
But all the really smart people on CNBC told me "Europe's problems have been fixed"!
Who?
There are smart people on CNBC?????
Socialism will work if given enough time. Nobody knows how much time that is, because the weak from hunger people always quit trying too soon. This time will be different, there will be no famine because other people in working countries will provide food. We might have to stop wasting good corn making gasahol to provide that food, but that is the silver lining.
Misguided socialist policy, misguided immigration policy, and the fact that french men routinely expose themselves to foreigners are all singular reasons for me to steer clear. Together? Forget it.
p.s. I'll point out again that the last time the frech had a leader as unpopular as hollande, his name was adolf.
In Ukraine, Hitler is more popular than is Stalin, but is only because Stalin is kill more Ukrainian.
I suppose perspective is everything. Coming in second in an asshole contest isn't particularly remarkable unless you're the guy who came in first.
Didn't they just say they were sending some troops to surrender in Mali?
That should help bring that number down.
I can see how France was squeamish about using drones. Really tough to explain your troops surrendering to your own drones.
:)

They won't surrender in Mali. France is very good and ruthless against brown people. They only surrender to the the master race. Imagine that, racist surrender monkeys.
@pods
This kind of joke is a bit tired, isn't it?
Since France refused to go to Iraq, American warmongers and neo-cons made French army look like cowards.
And some zerohedgers are falling into the neo-con world's view.
The History has proved the French were right
... And for you just one advice: Read History books !
what's wrong with them? don't they know how to tame the statistics? they really need to take a few lessons from our propaganda ministry. when it comes to disinformation, it's USA all the way!
France, where the solution for a failing socialist was to elect a bigger socialist.
HOW IS THAT WORKING FOR YA?
Don't be too hard on France. In the US, we replaced the Constitution trampling Bush with the Constitution destroying Obummer. We are well and truly fucked.
Canadia is electing Free Market Capitalist Stephen Harper... Maybe there is hope in Great White North. "Take off you are hoser!"
Let's see how "Free Market" Mr. Harper is, or is allowed to be, given the existing and entrenched governmental bureucracy in Canada.
Also, many smug Canucks love, and even sneeringly brag about their Socialism.
Hahahaha...hahahahah...hahahaha....Boris' fake Russian accent as Canadian...made my holiday.
Take it from me as a former long term resident, France has two primary problems. Unions (especially public sector ones) and millions of unemployable Muslims and Africans.
Odd story for you Boris. A number of years ago I was dating an unstable but sexually supercharged greek woman and living in downtown calgary. During that time I was introduced to her friend who looked like a morbidly obese sheepdog in drag who happened to drink so much it would make any proud eastern european blush. This woman apparently was Stephen Harper's main squeeze years back. I don't know if he has exceptionally bad taste, or he ruined her but I'd rather date a homeless man than that woman.
As a life long conservative I'm ashamed of my government. I'm not ashamed of Maple Syrup though.
Boris also is enjoy of Maple Syrup and jam preservative make of Saskatoon Berry.
what kind of craven asshole could possibly downvote that LMAO.
Maybe is not like Saskatoon Berry?
Is it me, or are most sexually supercharged woman unstable ? My wife pounds down Lexipro and Prozac by the ton !!!
I'm not sure but I sure wish I would run into her ( me ex) for a sound christmas rogering for old time's sake.
My experience too. But they were worth the grief.....
+1 for spelling it correctly as "Canadia", as in "Canadia - where else would Canadians come from?"
More layoffs and unemployment is great for stocks. Every time more people are cut it sends stocks higher.
Plus, if unemployed number is high, Central Banks is excuse to print mo-ar money! (Just like is bankster to kick man when is down)
Yep. French markets up today. Works here in the US, works in France. Whatever is the problem?
sunny
Please to be patient while Boris is attempt expression of utter dismay and surprise at manifestation that is "SOCIALISM DOES NOT IS WORKING!"
C'mon guys, even the commies get it!
German exports come at the expense of periphery employment. And yes, France is now the periphery.
They need to start lying like we do. Or if they are lying, lie harder. Pad stats. Make stuff up. Change the equation. Put a happy face on the complete and epic failure Socialism is and always has been.
A lot of posts are stating socialism in France. Only thing I can see is schism and corporatocratism.
Only one 'ism' can help when government is the problem
Anarchism.
Easy.
Everyone who studies Socialism or has lived under it can tell you that it does not work. The problem is the people who advocate socilaism don't study it. They worship it. Data is cherry picked, problems swept under the rug and when a socialist country fails the old stand-by of "They were never REALLY A socialist country." starts being bandied about. Of course most advocated a mixed-economy. But Socialism is like a cancer. One cell is all it takes to eventually spread and choke off resources from the rest of the body. Weakening and eventually killing the host.
Blh blah all about how Socialism doesn't work. As though we are under Capitalism or something. We're under Socialism, just not the good kind. We're under the kind that gives the state's largesse to corporations and banks, not the actual people. At least France tries to give some to the actual people, we get the worst of all worlds.
You apparently have never had to pay taxes in France.
But did he had to pay for cancer treatment while being poor in the US? that is also something to think about
You are mistaken. The people who advocate it never intend to live under it themselves. They are like the snake oil salesmen of politics. It's a big rip off. They get the power and money and you get a broken down 1950's Chevy.
If socialism is like cancer, what is capitalisme? The plague?!
François Hollande said Thursday that "the reversal of the unemployment curve is well underway." A "sustainable reduction in unemployment is now within our reach."
More bullish news.
BTFATH everyone!!!!!
