Chirac applies Band-aid to hemoraging wound

In his first address to the nation since the troubles began on October 27, Jacques Chirac annouced the creation of a paid training and employment scheme for 50,000 youths from affected areas and a series of measures to improve access to the workplace and to combat discrimination.

That’s terrific but what will happen to these “trained” individuals once they are out looking for jobs if there is nothing done to create new job opportunities? It appears that Chirac wants to add 50,000 jobs on to the public sector which will probably result in a similar # of jobs being squeezed out of the private sector–with French Muslims bearing the disproportionate share of those job losses.

If there was ever a time that France needed to be looking at ways of creating job opportunities is is now, but it appears that France is simply not there yet.

Of course the French can do somethings right.
