Abstract

This article seeks to measure the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on local employment in metropolitan France. Based on an extensive literature on economic resilience and the first available local data on the number of job losses, we highlight, on the one hand, the differences in the resilience of employment areas in the face of the crisis and, on the other hand, the key explanatory factors behind these disparities. The first econometric results show a significant influence of the density, the level of employment in the industry, the productive structure and the entrepreneurial dynamics of the territory.However, no relationship was found between employment areas with high levels of excess mortality and those that exhibit large job losses.
