In Q4 2022, payroll employment increased in two-thirds of the regions and was almost
stable in the others Localized employment and unemployment rates (by region and department) - fourth quarter
2022
Between the end of September 2022 and the end of December 2022, payroll employment increased by 0.2% nationwide, a slightly slower pace than in the first three quarters of 2022. Temporary work was up by 1.1% and payroll employment excluding temporary work slowed down significantly (+0.1%).
Payroll employment was almost stable in Île-de-France and in the five neighbouring regions. It increased at a rate at least as fast as at national level (+0.2%) in eleven regions. In metropolitan France, the increase was the strongest (+0.4%) in Bretagne and Pays de la Loire. It was more marked (between 0.5% and 0.7%) in three overseas regions (Guadeloupe, Guyane, La Réunion).
For this publication, the Quarterly Employment Estimates are revised in the past (see methodological note (in French)):
- they have been calibrated to the Annual Employment Estimates for the end of 2020, which were themselves revised in January 2023, with the main impact of raising the level of payroll employment in 2020 (see Insee Focus no. 288 “In 2021, employment increased unprecedentedly”);
- the series on work-study in the private sector have been revised, in particular because of a new seasonal adjustment, with the consequence of a slight revision of the infra-annual dynamics of private payroll employment since 2020.
- In Q4 2022, payroll employment increased at least as much as at national level in eleven regions, including seven in metropolitan France
- Payroll employment was above its pre-crisis level in all regions, with strong disparities between territories
- Across all regions, the unemployment rate decreased compared to its pre-sanitary crisis level

For further information
The Quarterly Employment Estimates measure employment at the place of work in France (excluding Mayotte). They are compiled by INSEE by applying to the annual employment base the quarterly changes from several sources mobilized by the Caisse nationale de l'Urssaf, Dares and INSEE.
The introduction of the Déclaration sociale nominative (DSN) to replace the bordereau récapitulatif de cotisations (BRC) may have temporarily affected companies' reporting behaviour. During the DSN ramp-up phase, adaptations have been made in the statistical processing chain of employment estimates in order to take these changes into account.
In particular, in the third quarter of 2022, a switch to the DSN source was made for the State civil service. This change of source may have led to a break in the seasonality of the measurement of public employment; the most obvious breaks have been neutralized, but some less obvious and smaller ones may remain. Developments in the third and fourth quarters of 2022 should therefore be viewed with caution in this field
The “enquête Emploi” enables to measure precisely at the national level, the unemployment rate every quarter. At sharper geographic levels the sample surveyed is too small for good cyclical monitoring.
INSEE therefore develops a specific indicator, the "localized unemployment rate" based on three sources for metropolitan France: the “enquête Emploi”, which provides the number of unemployed and employed persons in the ILO sense; administrative data on employment from social declarations by companies and the self-employed, making it possible to exhaustively and finely localize employment at a territorial level; data on job seekers at the end of the month registered with Pôle emploi in category A (DEFM A), which make it possible to finely localize unemployed persons. This last source differs in level from the results of the “enquête Emploi”, since it does not follow the ILO concepts used in the survey. But, assuming that this difference is evenly distributed, its structure can be used to disaggregate unemployment from the “enquête Emploi”.
The calculation of localized unemployment rates in the overseas departments excluding Mayotte is based on a specific methodology, which means that a statistical hazard remains in the short-term variations. To study structural and long-term effects, annual average unemployment rate series should be preferred in the overseas departments excluding Mayotte.
INSEE does not calculate a quarterly unemployment rate for Mayotte, but instead publishes an annual figure based on the “enquête Emploi” conducted in the second quarter of each year (in French). Thus, in the second quarter of 2022, the ILO unemployment rate was 34% of the active population in Mayotte, up 4 percentage points from its level in previous years.
Data are provisional for the last quarter and revised for previous quarters.
