I have some official numbers for France, and they directly contradict what you’re saying: https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/4805248 https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/4805248 https://dares.travail-emploi.gouv.fr/donnees/les-emplois-vacants https://dares.travail-emploi.gouv.fr/donnees/les-emplois-vac... According to our own government, the number of unemployed people in France at the end of last year is estimated at 2.3 millions (7.5% of the active population). the number of open positions for private companies of more than 10 employees (excluding agriculture) is 331,700. I don’t believe for a second that including agriculture and smaller companies would raise this number even close to 1M, let alone 2.3M. The total number is most likely well below 500K. So it looks like in France, there is there is at most 1 open position for every 4 unemployed people able to work. Likely less. Given these numbers, if all the unemployed French people filled every open position overnight, at least 75% of them would remain unemployed. I really, really have a hard time believing your numbers now that I have checked the official numbers for my country. I suggest you check for yours.
