Jobs for the French

Something uplifting after the EU punished Cyprus.

This one took about three weeks to get mentioned in the national press, but good news take time.

On 26 February, the French and German secretaries for social affairs and employment opened the very first joint French German employment office in the Southern city of Kehl to assist cross border job seekers.

Unemployment in the French Alsace region is at around 10%, while across the border in Germany the rate stands at about 4%.

The really good news is that job seekers are actually using the services of the new office.
