In a nutshell

  • Developed by France Travail, the tool helps to decipher in order to make decisions, by providing useful benchmarks to understand the functioning of an employment area and its development prospects. 
  • Data Emploi means we can enter into the reality of a locality through a detailed analysis of employment, offers, professions, skills and training. 
  • It therefore provides useful support for understanding the local labor market, comparing different areas, as well as informing considerations related to the establishment and development of a business. 

Employment data: deciphering the job market in France 

France Travail, in partnership with Data Emploi, provides a public tool designed to decipher the realities of the labor market at the local level. 

This approach is part of the broader mission of France Travail, which collects, processes and analyzes data on the labor market at both national and local levels. 

Data Emploi extends this expertise by making information more directly usable for analysis, comparison and decision support. 

Understanding the attractiveness and dynamics of a job market

Local attractiveness is based on the structure of the local labor market, the nature of recruitment, the jobs sought, the skills available and the prospects for job development. 

Data Emploi makes it possible to document these dimensions using concrete and comparable indicators. 

The tool therefore helps to more precisely define a labor market area: 

  • The intensity of recruitment needs. 
  • The dominant sectors. 
  • Occupations in high demand. 
  • The depth of the talent pool. 
  • And the locality’s capacity to support a development dynamic. 

Data to link employment, occupations, skills and training

Data Emploi provides access to several levels of complementary information. 

The platform allows users to view: 

  • Key figures for job vacancies and job seekers. 
  • The most represented sectors of activity. 
  • The most sought-after professions. 
  • And the skills most present or in demand in a locality. 

It also offers a “training” entry, useful for putting into perspective the logic of skills development and for more broadly appreciating the resources of a locality. 

This link between employment, professions, skills and training reinforces the strategic scope of the tool.
