The number of subsidized jobs should decrease by around 15,000 next year, Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt announced on Monday on the sidelines of the Medef summer school in Paris. “There will be a drop in the number of assisted contracts” and “the decrease will be around 15,000 or so”, declared Olivier Dussopt. “It is an order of magnitude on which we are still working today and all the arbitrations have not been made”, nuanced the minister, while the draft budget for 2024 must be presented at the end of September. The number of subsidized contracts in France is at “levels much higher than what we experienced for example in 2018 or 2019”, he recalled.

“We are at almost 120,000 assisted contracts between the PEC (Skills Employment Course) and the CIE (Employment Initiative Contract) for the year 2023. In 2018, 2019, we were more around 65,000, 70,000”, he said. detailed. Olivier Dussopt explained that “when there are job creations, when there are recruitment tensions, it is normal for subsidized employment to be less important” and that he finds “his vocation for integration” . He specified that subsidized contracts should be “mobilized as a priority for those furthest from employment, seniors, people with disabilities, those under 25 with qualification difficulties, recipients of social minima”.
