Published since 2004 by the APNEE association (Alternative for a New Employment Economy), www.actuchomage.org is a real goldmine for job seekers as well as anyone looking for information about this phase of life that more and more workers experience quite regularly.
Unemployment, a “state” characterized by a sometimes chronic lack of work – judged, assessed, and studied by many experts and politicians in an attempt to bend its curve which descends much slower than after its rapid surge in the 80s – seems to become an almost inevitable passage in the career path of the worker, whether skilled or unskilled, young or senior, as a transition that seems very difficult to escape. With its 2,213,000 estimated job seekers, this figure is strongly contested by many organizations and opposition political parties, the unemployment rate in France, besides being a tremendous electoral issue, is not yet set for a dramatic fall below the widely promised threshold of 5% by some.
But unemployment also brings fear, degrades, and downgrades the citizens it targets. In addition to its propensity to weaken the entire circle of its victim, this polymorphic flaw spreads through all layers of society without any distinction: this is its only non-discriminatory aspect! Two centuries ago, people were less embarrassed to declare their syphilis (considered a shameful disease at the time) than admitting today their membership in this infamous minority of the “unemployable”…
In short, Nice Première invites you to take a look at Actuchômage which is currently posing a major current question: A job seeker candidate in the 2007 Presidential elections?
You will also find interviews with many political figures and personalities such as Arnaud Montebourg (NPS), Jean-Marie Le Pen (National Front), Fabienne Brutus (UMP), Françoise Bonne (writer), Robert Castel (sociologist)…
You can also relax with a small quiz to find out what kind of unemployed person you are, or consult the valuable manual of the unabashed unemployed person to then learn everything about starting a business or the best advice for an effective job search.
In short, let yourself be guided for a few moments by this link, you will not regret it!
