Unemployment frames are better off than others

Auto Date Thursday, March 28th, 2013

 

For several months, the job market also tends frame. The whole of 2013, the services of the Apec predict a market decline of about 5%, with a range of recruitment between 162,000 and 178,000 people. However, the unemployment rate for white collar should remain below 5%.

Behind these figures altogether favorable, there are winners and losers, and markets at different speeds. "Today, all employers dream of having them around frames with three to ten years of experience in the trade," said Fabien Stut flatly, deputy general manager of recruitment firm Hays. For other populations frameworks, however, the situation is much darker. "The most affected will certainly graduates this year, but people still wanted engineers, and still older, but this is not a novelty," says Frédéric Benay, Senior Executive Director at Michael Page. A situation related to driving "short-termist" employers whose business visibility is almost zero now and who do not take risks.

Experts in high demand profiles

Another observation: as the market is primarily supported by the replacement (turnover, retirement …) and not by the creation of jobs, recruitment are almost exclusively on expert profiles, regardless of trades and industries. Result, candidates are missing and it is difficult to convince them to leave their current position.

"The paradox is that in a range of sectors and occupations, employers can not find anyone," says Fabien Stut. Examples in auditing and accounting, the unemployment rate is 2%. In finance, there is a shortage of candidates on the functions of consolidation. Even in construction, on some very specific lines of business, recruitment for engineers are hard work, economists or engineers building structures.

As for the "engines" of executive recruitment, such as computer, the boot does not fall, even if the trend is a little less dynamic. "Everything comes to outsourcing of functions has the wind in its sails," said Frédéric Benay at Michael Page. As proof, Sopra, specializing in technology consulting, announced this year more than 2012 recruitments: 2,500 in total, including 1,600 in France. "Sopra Group recruits both graduates bac + 5 and more experienced profiles without stands a level of experience rather than another," says one.

Director of Human Resources at MAAF Assurances, Véronique Jolly does not fits in this scheme – beginners, advanced, seniors. "We have a recruitment plan that allows us to talk to all areas of the company and all the employee profiles. So we appeal to both young graduates, experienced managers, but also for seniors, because we are part of the technical issues, "she says. The mutual group, which has 7,300 employees in 2013 shows a recruitment plan external CDI 300 people, with hundreds of new posts, plus a level of internal mobility of 700 employees. The insurance specialist deploys a parallel plan hires 350 CSD and sixty contracts.

Anger mounts against the government doctors

Auto Date Friday, March 1st, 2013

 

All against Touraine! The discontent of physicians against the Minister of Health no end to swell. The center of the divorce, still the same folder, the excess fees. Since the agreement signed in late October between several unions of doctors and health insurance, practitioners do not took off. Worse, their rebellion grows. Three unions that had initialed the text assumes no more putting it into practice. First, MG France, yet regarded left, has decided not to participate in the regional commissions should punish doctors whose fees are higher than average, the 150% threshold prices Safely. The other two say outright "betrayed" by the social security they complain too strict interpretation of the text they signed. And because the number of physicians in the viewfinder of the health insurer has increased fivefold, from 300 to 1500, between the initialling of the agreement and its implementation. A casus belli too.

Expatriate doctors

Organization most ascent, SML decided to return symbolically signature – no it does not change anything – and even offers to drive the point home, help practitioners in 1500 in the crosshairs of the CNAM to leave France to go practice abroad. "Why French doctors, sniffing outside our borders should waste their talent and let persecute here?, Protests Sophie Bauer, one of the leaders of the SML. If the pressure becomes unbearable, we will encourage their efforts to emigrate. "

To enter the union recalcitrant rank, Minister of Health would have gone to threaten a tougher law that the agreement during a meeting with his officials last week. "If the deal falls through, Marisol Touraine has promised us a coercive law confirms Roger Rua, the President of SML. If this threat already made in the negotiations, is realized when we play our role as union, CGT and FO way. "So in an even less conciliatory.

The agreement on overtaking is not the only issue that worries doctors. The launch end of January the "national health strategy" does not reassure. The CSMF, the largest union of doctors, afraid that during this plan very vague, governments do not organize the "nationalization" of private medicine. "These are postures to supply the usual drama of social dialogue," says puts one in the entourage of the Minister who has yet launched a "transaction tinkering" receiving, one by one, all the organizations. For now, without success. I must say that Marisol Touraine is the lowest in the heart doctors. Its popularity has dropped 18 points since May to 34% in favor, according to a poll for the Daily doctor. A rib "that follows all of the executive", minimizes a relative of the minister that "there is no break with the doctors." In ten years, two ministers have fallen below: Philippe Douste-Blazy and Roselyne Bachelot, against the remaining examples of a good minister of Health. Both were eventually acknowledged. And even replaced by the same man, Xavier Bertrand. A mishap, at least, Marisol Touraine will not suffer.

The scheduled end of Hadopi

Auto Date Friday, February 22nd, 2013

 

Next week, the commission Lescure, charged by the Rue de Valois to reinvent the cultural exception, begin a second transfer of hearings with representatives of cultural industries to "test a number of hypotheses." The goal is to refine the proposals for the adaptation of digital culture that will validate the Elysee by the end of April, as révèleLibération. Exercise at high risk given the financial and political stakes. At the heart of the matter, is the future of Hadopi, responsible for the fight against Internet piracy. If it is assumed that the institution will not survive, some of its powers remain. It is a device to alleviate considered too heavy and repressive. Educational mission that has proven its effectiveness should continue.

However, the punitive aspect should be lowered. No question of suspending subscriptions Internet as the ultimate sanction provided by Hadopi. In alternative, the Commission Lescure propose to establish penalties for unscrupulous users. These fines would be used with great caution by the judge, given the legal issues raised by this type of sanction (verifying the identity of the offender, challenged the offense) and cost (covering device).

Involve Google

Finally, some members of the committee, encouraged by the government, would like to get more involved major players in the Net, including search engines, like Google, in the fight against piracy. Wary, some observers point out that it is difficult to impose anything on them: "It is a magisterial influence," says one.  

However, in its Thursday edition, the British newspaper leTelegrapha relayed Google will cut referencing illegal sites and those who do not respect the right of companies because, for example, registration in tax havens.

The commission also Lescure board on the issue "legal tender". This has two aspects. On the one hand, the easing of media chronology in case "very limited." The goal is to accelerate the provision of cinematographic and audiovisual works for users. The movie may be available on legal sites simultaneously with their release. For the American series, it would at the same time as they are broadcast on television screens. On the other hand, the government will also require the commission Lescure that are found technical solutions to bring new players in the circle of funding creation. But providers already consider paying for content without gaining anything in return.

Remains the thorny issue of private copying (electronic charge on donated content creators). The government wants to reform the system. And why not replace it with a tax on connected devices. But in this case, the money will go into the coffers of the state and the creation is not safe to see color.

Go Sport hopes to attract new clients, and casual sports enthusiasts, with sharp marks, such as The North Face, thus distancing itself from Decathlon, which favors its own labels, and Intersport, which sells most major brands (Adidas, Nike .. .). For its part, in Run, which targets an urban clientele from 15 to 25 years, the range of accessories and textiles will be reworked and a site will be launched in late 2014.

Third recession for the UK

Auto Date Saturday, January 26th, 2013

 

The British economy flirts with recession a third after those of 2008 and 2011-2012. GDP contracted by 0.3% in the last quarter of 2012. Growth was zero over the entire year. This return to a negative trend comes after a strong rebound in the third quarter, driven by the impact of the Olympics. Technically, two consecutive negative quarters define a recession. However, according to economists, the beginning of 2013 has been affected by the consequences of the snow.

"The best way to describe the British economy at the moment is: fragile but stable. UK evolves around a stagnation line "analysis Rob Wood, an economist at Berenberg Bank. The head of the Bank of England expects a "modest recovery" this year. The IMF reduced its growth forecast for the UK than 1%. Several major retail chains, including HMV, Comet, Jessops and JJB Sports, recently placed in bankruptcy.

"Plan B"

This performance-cons is a blow to the government of David Cameron, who continues to assert that its austerity plan begins to bear fruit. IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard said on Thursday it was time to relax fiscal austerity to boost growth. The Liberal Democrats, Conservatives partners in the ruling coalition, advocating for a "plan B" and recognize that the government has cut too much in investment.

But the Minister of Economy, George Osborne repeated that there is no question of deviating from its objectives. According to him, it would be "a huge mistake to question" the credibility of the country's budget cuts. This does not prevent him from coming face the risk of losing precious AAA rating.

Following this announcement, the pound has accelerated its fall, dropping to its lowest level in six months against the dollar for more than a year against the euro.

"This is a reminder that Britain faces a difficult situation," admitted George Osborne, commenting on the figures for the fourth quarter. The government can console themselves with the continued decline in unemployment, which now stands at 7.7% of the active population.

To control more strictly credit rating agencies

Auto Date Thursday, January 17th, 2013

 

This is a small revolution in the world of finance. Europe will finally set limits on credit rating agencies that have long rain or shine on the financial markets. The three main agencies (Standard and Poor's, Moody's and Fitch) representing 90% of the market will désormer impose greater transparency and may be held accountable for their mistakes.

A large majority of MEPs (579 against 58 votes and 60 abstentions) has adopted the text presented Wednesday by the Italian Socialist Democrat Leonardo Domenici. Here's what to retain these new rules will come into force this year, when the European Council has voted to turn the text.

• The transparency above all

Not always easy to understand rating system for these agencies. They have been asked to publish "research report" when issuing a sovereign rating. In the interests of transparency, this report must be "publicly accessible, clear and understandable," says the text voted.

• notations but not anytime

Agencies can not issue more than three unsolicited ratings throughout the year. When marking States, they should do on dates fixed in advance. Thus, the assessments will be published on Friday, after the markets close in the EU and at least one hour before reopening. The text also states that voted "the rating agency credit institution shall inform the rated entity (…) so that it has the ability to report to the agency any factual errors."

• Agencies responsible now

Agencies must redouble vigilance before distributing their rating. In fact, they will now be civilly liable if they make mistakes. In other words, investors who feel aggrieved by the rating will sue the agency has violated the rules of this law. For example, if a conflict of interest in issuing a rating.

• Limiting the power of agencies

"In recent years, investors and states have become too dependent on rating agencies. On several occasions, their sudden announcements led to speculation harmful financial markets, exacerbating the crisis in the euro zone, "said Italian Socialist MEP Leonardo Domenici.

The MP therefore encouraged investment firms and credit institutions to develop their own scoring system. The European Commission should also consider creating European assessments of creditworthiness, says the text.

• The hunt for conflicts of interest

The interests of the agencies in the rated entities will be capped. A shareholder holding 10% or more of the capital of an agency can not have 10% or more of the capital of the rated entity. In the same logic, a shareholder may hold shares of more than 5% in more than one credit reporting agency, unless they belong to the same group.

Some say it was time to limit the omnipotence of these agencies. They have also been heavily criticized, notably for helping to trigger the financial crisis of 2008, giving the best financial rating (AAA) for impaired investments. Since, in a crisis of the euro area, their activity is often viewed with suspicion. Especially when they degrade the note of a country whose access to credit, as was the case in Greece, becomes much more difficult.

USA: Congress always on the brink budget

Auto Date Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013

 

The budget compromise passed a minimum during the night of New Year's Day by the Senate deputies is not suitable for conservative Republicans. It would avoid a fall in "precipice budget" but does not reduce the deficit. This text does not specify sustainable reductions in public spending but put $ 600 billion of tax increases over a period of ten years. For these reasons, the rapid adoption Tuesday by the House of Representatives, text laboriously negotiated in the Senate problem.

John Boehner, the "speaker" (President) Republican in the lower house, is in the uncomfortable position of having to rely on dozens of Democrats vote to pass an emergency law ungrateful he did not negotiate the content . His deputy, head of the House Republican, Eric Cantor, flatly refused to support the text. The ability to add amendments specifying cuts in public spending is considered. Democrats oppose it for reasons of time and not jeopardize the agreement painfully negotiated in the Senate. The procedure delay the release of "fiscal cliff" since it would return the new amended version in the Senate adopts it in the same terms. However, any delay in the adoption of the compromise was to be avoided in order to prevent massive increases in taxes and automatic lined with sharp reductions in spending, be felt.

Go right and left

Without a vote of both Houses of Congress on an identical text, America slips effect from the end of 2012 in a fiscal precipice likely to cause a new recession in a few weeks. Automatic tax increases of no less than $ 400 billion of credit and declines of more than 100 billion dollars came into force on 1 January. "Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans got everything they wanted, but this deal is good for our country and the House must adopt without delay," said Barack Obama. "There is still much work to do to reduce our deficits and have the will to tackle it payday loan lenders… We will continue to reduce the deficit through a combination of new spending cuts and new revenues on the richest Americans" , the president added.

The promise of new tax increases as a condition of real deficit reduction, reaching 7% of the GDP of the United States, has unleashed the wrath of the Tea Party Republicans. It is true that the left of the Democratic Party is also disappointed with the compromise negotiated in recent days by the leader of the Republican minority in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, and Joe Biden, the vice president of the United States. Without daring to block the vote, three senators "progressives" voted against the text. Among them, Tom Harkin, Senator from Iowa, veteran Democratic Left.

The new tax burden

The plan only see two months of automatic reductions spending more than $ 100 billion. More importantly, it does not raise the debt ceiling, yet reached on 31 December. In a word, the agreement ensures that a minimum in less than two months Congress and the White House will meet at the edge of a precipice new, even more dangerous.

Number of Democrats also complain that the new tax burden begins to affect only the wealthy from $ 450,000 annual income per household. Five years ago that Barack Obama calls for a tax increase from $ 250,000 per year. Increases taxes on capital gains, dividends, and higher inheritance accepted by Mitch McConnell are weaker than hoped the left wing of the Democratic Party. "It is not the big bold and bipartisan compromise that we need, the markets need, our country needs is a little compromise ensures that taxes 98% of Americans will not climb" summed up the Delaware Sen. Chris Coons.

Exile Afflelou wants to go "where is the work"

Auto Date Sunday, December 23rd, 2012

 

Called the "unexpected Journal" on RTL, Alain Afflelou, head of the eponymous group of glasses and hearing aids is justified on Thursday announced his departure for London. While tax exile Gérard Depardieu for Néchin looks like a national tragedy, the leader has denied any tax incentive in its approach to cross the Channel. "My father taught me that we must go where the work is and not wait for the work to come to us (…), he explained. My English shareholder since June, Lion Capital, asked me to go and develop Northern Europe where we are completely absent, "he added, stressing the importance of finding new sources of growth to compensate for its traditional markets, now weakened (France, Morocco, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal …)

The leader of 1200 outlets hopes materialize contacts "fairly advanced" with foreign channels and strengthen its distribution network. To cut the grass under the feet of any detractors, he also points out that his departure 20 years ago, in Switzerland, in the same spirit as his exile in London, had resulted in "the creation of many jobs and taxes paid in France. "

"Taxation confiscatory"

On his arrival in London, he will have the status of "non-domiciled", which will certainly meet in Britain tax labor income, but do not exempt in France the wealth tax on real property and income of French origin flexcheck cash advance. "I'm not trying to juggle. I always paid my taxes in France, even when I was in Switzerland. I will pay in England that I have to pay, and in France that I have to pay. In any case I will not leave my nationality for not paying taxes "based Alain Afflelou, stating that his London exile will not last more than three years.

From now on, people who are in the bracket income tax at 75% can exceed 90% taxation so yes we can talk about confiscatory taxation. "

According to him, the entrepreneurs in France are also the target of a real "trench warfare": "You have to stop saying that successful people are thieves, thugs, and dishonest people. There is not that artists have the right to be considered: the people who work and do other work, we need, "he said about the recent exile of Gérard Depardieu and the controversy it has generated.

Cameron wants to cut in the salaries of EU officials

Auto Date Saturday, November 24th, 2012

 

Our special envoy in Brussels,

David Cameron has touched a nerve in Brussels, not to say explosive: he demanded the summit, a real austerity for 55,000 European civil servants it deems too highly paid in this time of crisis. "They are 250 to win more than me!" Has offended the British Prime Minister, referring to the annual salaries above € 100,000 CEOs of some of the European Commission

David Cameron has asked the EU president, Herman Van Rompuy, "at least" six billion euros on wages and pensions Eurocrats over the period 2014-2020. This is the price of his support for a compromise on the EU budget, in addition to maintaining the "British rebate", a discount on the contribution of 3.6 billion euros in 2011.  

Touching a chord with British tabloid press and hostile to the European institutions, David Cameron has proposed a 10% reduction in the salaries of 55,000 employees, $ 3 billion euros economy increased age retirement to 68 years against 62 years ago today – 1.5 billion euros in savings – and reduced the amount of pensions Eurocrats, amounted to 1.5 billion euros.

End of inadmissibility of Van Rompuy

The President of the EU has raised an objection of inadmissibility to this request, explosive Brussels. In his second budget proposal, Herman Van Rompuy, the lower limit administrative costs to 536 million over 7 years, a reduction in "very modest" should be in Brussels no faxing pay day loans. "This is a key element of the negotiation" recognizes a diplomat. "If Herman Van Rompuy accept more cuts on wages, is that he sees dawn agreement," commented a trader.

Britain is not alone in requiring a lower institutional life, in this time of crisis. France, the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark and Finland a true advocate for austerity in Brussels. But François Hollande Judge Cameron excessive requests. "This is a radical proposal" says the French president. "We are not against the principle of lower operating costs," added the head of state, "but it is necessary that Europe can continue to operate."

Faithful to the line of its predecessors, François Hollande, refused to sacrifice the seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, hotly contested. "I am very attached to the seat in Strasbourg, often targeted in its proposed reduction credits" he insists.  

The reduction of administrative costs was discussed during the bilateral David Cameron and François Hollande Friday afternoon. The British rebate was also discussed. Failing to reduce, France wishes to pay a lesser extent, cap or participation. But the preservation of the British rebate is the red line in London, to which Van Rompuy did not dare touch.
