Why not mention the current unemployment rate in France? Might it not have something to do with the required 25 days paid vacation? They certainly seems like it would drive up the cost of employing the average worker to me.

I’d rather have a job with little paid vacation than no job at all in a system that requires 25 paid days off..

Mr. Sawicky doesn’t address the increased cost of employing someone in France, and the impact that has on opportunities for the least skilled workers. I’d like to see someone educated on the facts talk about that a bit.

Thoughts?
