Officially the number of worklesa throughout France, or the number receiving around 2,000, but this figure is deceiving. Actually, the number of offers of work forthcoming each day largely exceeds the supply of labour, and those who are idle generally belong to trades or professions for which there is no longer any use."

To antisly the increasing demands for labour, particularly manual labour, France has brought many thousands of natives of her colonies, Moroccans, Algerians, Senegalese, to the country, where they work side by side on the roads and in the fields with Italians, Czechs, Poles, Russians and Armenians.
