The number of people seeking work in France has risen to a record high, official figures show.
The jobless total rose by 27,400 in November to 3,488,300 - the highest level yet seen.
That means the number looking for a job has risen by 5.8% in the past year.
The claimant count rose in November for the third month in a
row, and official government estimates suggest the economy will have
grown by just 0.4% this past year.
The jobless figures count the number of people claiming benefits and looking for work with the National Agency for Unemployment.
The alternative international measure of unemployment,
devised by the International Labour Organisation and based on a regular
survey, says that unemployment in France rose to 2.84 million in the third quarter of the year, giving an unemployment rate of 9.9%.
