The relocations of industrial activities in the territory since September 2020 have allowed “to create” or “reinforce” nearly 100,000 jobs, through 782 projects, according to a count made by Bercy and published Thursday, February 17 .
This figure encompasses the operations made in the context of three devices: in the first place the call for projects “relocations in the critical sectors”, with 850 million euros and aimed in particular with the health sectors, of electronics, raw materials for the industry. Secondly, the “Capacity Building” device, implemented to strengthen the health sector, with € 671 million. Finally, lastly, the “Industry Territories” system, which accompanies projects with a strong local incidence, with € 950 million.
The support of these 782 projects has generated 5.4 billion euros of productive investments, for 1.6 billion euros of subsidies, according to Bercy, which does not disclose however the breakdown between new jobs , created by these projects, and the jobs simply comforted. Based on the figures given by the Ministry of Economy and Finance and its own data, Trendeo firm considers that a job created comes to consolidate four, about 20,000 new jobs and 80,000 “comforts”.
Between 2000 and 2020, 1 million jobs lost in the industry
Note, also, that the term “relocation” means the broad sense: “they may be productions achieved abroad and returned to French territory or new productions that aim to replace Imported products, “says Minister Delegate to Industry, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, for whom” This result is part of an ambitious reconquest policy launched since 2017 by the President of the Republic “.
In fact, in terms of industrial jobs, the site is immense. In twenty years, between 2000 and 2020, France lost 1 million positions in the industry. The curve began to reverse between 2017 and 2019, before the cataclysm of the CVIV-19 crisis, which put the vulnerability of whole sections of the economy in the face of imported products. Certainly, faced with the million losing jobs, this assessment may seem low, but it points out a favorable tendency. “Which will make things be macroeconomally tangible, it is that this movement continues in the long term: the decline in industrial employment has not been done in one year,” says Alexandre Saubot, President of France Industry.
