French jobless total falls 1.1 percent in fourth quarter - labour ministry

PARIS (Reuters) - France's jobless total fell by 1.1 percent in the final quarter of 2018, Labour Ministry data showed on Friday, suggesting slower growth has so far not translated into overall higher job losses.

The number of people registered as looking for work in mainland France fell by 38,200 in the fourth quarter to 3,418,600, down 1.5 percent over one year, the ministry said.
