NANTERRE, FRANCE--(Marketwired - Feb 23, 2016) - Private sector employment in France increased by 12,500 jobs from December 2015 to January 2016 according to the January ADP® France National Employment Report. Broadly distributed to the public each month, free of charge, the ADP France National Employment Report is produced by ADP Research Institute® in collaboration with Moody's Analytics.
The report, which is derived from actual headcount data, measures the change in total nonfarm private employment each month on a seasonally-adjusted basis. It provides a timely look at labor market trends based on real employment data, and defers from unemployment reports which show the number of people looking for a job. The two indicators should, all other things held equal, go in opposite directions. However they may go in the same direction, especially when there are changes in the labor workforce, leading to more labor market entrants than job creation, for diverse reasons: demographic trends, cyclical movements or policy changes such as a higher retirement age.
