Skipping back to topic real quick...
France has some pretty serious issues with that, 25% of 18-25 yr olds are unemployed because of there job laws. Which are as long as your hired you pretty much cant get fired as long as you show up and dont shoot up the place. Which makes companies very timid over hiring young ppl. It's illegal to work over 45 hours for an employer, plus they have a 35 hour work week. Add on the fat pensions they get after retirement and you have an entire country that's digging a hole, and sadly if something doesnt change their economy will just collapse...
This new law was supposed to make it easier for companies to fire new employees during a 2 yr trial period, which would lower unemployment of younger ppl. But for some reason they took it as an insult and rioted...how stuck up and privileged can you get?
