France’s unemployment rate fell by 0.1 point to 8.2% of the active population in the third quarter of 2026, compared with the 8.4% expected by economists. The decline ended seven consecutive quarterly increases and reduced the number of unemployed people to 2.63 million, 47,000 fewer than three months earlier. Over one year, however, the rate remained 0.4 points higher, with 150,000 more unemployed people, while GDP declined by 0.1%. Long-term unemployment affected 680,000 people, up 82,000 over one year, and the OFCE forecasts a rate of 8.8% by the end of 2027.
