Reading This Chart The Right Way
This chart doesn't support a simple narrative. It moves up, it moves down — pick any two years and you can tell almost any story you want. Look at the whole series, not a slice of it.
A useful next step is checking whether France's policy or economic context changed materially over this period — unemployment, male (% of male labor force) series like this one often reflect a specific decision or shock more than a slow organic drift.
Like most indicator series of this kind, the France numbers here are compiled from periodic surveys and filled in with modeling for the years between — read the shape of the trend, hold individual annual figures loosely.
