France to see 800,000 job losses in coming months: minister

Description

France is likely to suffer 800,000 job losses in coming months, the finance minister warned on Wednesday, as the economy reels from the effects of a lockdown imposed to contain the coronavirus pandemic. "Our evaluation is that 800,000 jobs will be lost in the coming months, or 2.8 per cent of total employment," Bruno Le Maire told a finance committee in parliament. SOUNDBITE
