With 34,400 additional people, the number of job seekers in category A (without activity) recorded an increase of 0.9% in November, to reach 3.828 million, according to figures from the Dares published on Monday.

This increase comes after six consecutive months of decline, which was explained above all by shifts in unemployed people having resumed reduced activity (categories B and C).

The number of unemployed in category A is approximately 10% higher (+341,800) than at the end of February, before the start of the health crisis, according to the statistical service of the Ministry of Labor.
