Unemployment in France fell by 0.6 percent in October according to offical reports published by the Labor Ministry on Thursday. It is the first time that France has seen a drop in unemployment since April 2011.
In a press release published shortly after the announcement, the Elysée Palace said: "The numbers published today confirm that the battle against unemployment can be won."
President François Hollande has staked his credibility on turning around the eurozone's second-biggest economy and making a politically sensitive pledge to bring unemployment down by the end of 2013.
