Nearly 30,000 more jobs in accommodation and catering

This dynamism explains most of the increase in total salaried employment, both over the quarter and over one year.

The accommodation and catering sector contributed the most to the overall increase over the quarter (+29,800 jobs).

Industrial employment (excluding temporary workers) increased by 0.3% in the second quarter of 2022 and by 1.1% over one year.

It thus regains its pre-crisis level (+0% compared to the end of 2019).

In construction, salaried employment was stable in the second quarter of 2022, at a level 6.3% higher than at the end of 2019. Finally, salaried employment in the non-market tertiary sector barely increased in the second quarter of 2022 (+ 0.1% or +12,300 jobs), which brings the increase to +0.5% over one year and +2.1% compared to the end of 2019.
