Abstract

According to administrative sources based on employer returns, salaried employment in France rose by more than 40 thousand in 2017Q3. Conversely, according to the household Labour Force Survey, the unemployment rate increased from 9.2% to 9.4% in metropolitan France. In principal, this divergence may be related to changes in the labour force. In practice, it is also the result of differences in the methods applied to measure quarterly employment variations. Au troisième trimestre 2017, l’emploi salarié en France progresse de plus de 40 mille selon les sources administratives fournies par les employeurs. A contrario, le taux de chômage augmente de 9,2 % à 9,4 % en France métropolitaine selon l’enquête emploi auprès de ménages. Cette divergence peut en principe provenir des évolutions de la population active. Elle renvoie aussi en pratique à des différences entre les deux sources quant à la mesure des variations trimestrielles de l’emploi.
