With over 400 net new jobs created in July<\/strong>, and a decline of 600 jobs in August<\/strong>, employment in French startups showed a near-zero balance<\/strong> over the summer period.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

Yet this stability is only apparent<\/strong>. On closer inspection, the French Tech job market is characterized bymajor fluctuations<\/strong>. Here’s how. <\/p>\n

In July and August combined<\/strong>, 1,800 startups created <\/strong> 5,000<\/strong> new <\/strong> jobs<\/strong>, while 2,200 startups shed <\/strong> 5,000<\/strong>. Some 6,600 startups maintained their workforce. This relative stability is the result of the strongest job movements, particularly in July<\/a>, since the creation of this barometer. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

Our territorial analysis<\/strong> also calls this \u201cfalse flat\u201d feeling into question. Whereas all regions<\/strong> of mainland France (with the exception of three) were slightly ahead in terms of job creation in July<\/strong>, all these regions (with the exception of two) were slightly behind in terms of job losses in August<\/strong>. This reversal <\/strong>is particularly noticeable in the PACA<\/strong> region , which had created over 250 jobs in July<\/strong>, only to shed around 50 the following month<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

An atypical summer trend<\/strong> also seems to have been confirmed in August: theIle-de-France and Auvergne Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes<\/strong> regions no longer play their role as employment \u201clocomotives\u201d. On the contrary, it was even the regional employment areas that suffered the most this summer<\/strong>. Over 250 jobs were lost in the \u00cele-de-France region<\/strong>, and more than 120 in Auvergne Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

When it comes to analyzing the \u201cTop sectors<\/strong>\u201d of French Tech, four sectors<\/strong> seem to have come out on top<\/strong> during the summer break. The GreenTech<\/strong> sector has been the undisputed leader for many months(+300 jobs<\/strong> this summer), followed by FinTech<\/strong>(+350 jobs<\/strong>) and TransportTech<\/strong> (nearly 150 jobs)<\/strong>. More surprisingly, FashionTech<\/strong> also<\/strong> made it into the Top10 this summer<\/strong>, with a net creation of over 200 jobs<\/strong> over the two months. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

While the job market in French startups may have seemed to be progressing on a sea of oil this summer, this should not conceal a growing number of \u201cdiversification currents\u201d. It remains resilient(+20,500 jobs created since January<\/strong>) and dynamic, but recent results demonstrate the existence of a shifting, diversified ecosystem<\/strong>. Gathered under the same banner of \u201cFrench Tech\u201d, French startups are showing greater diversity every month, synonymous with their richness<\/strong>! <\/p>\n
