A slight revision downwards for private employment while non-farm employment is basically flat. On a year-on-year basis, private sector payrolls grew by 1.2% while total payrolls grew by 0.8%. The trend to start off 2018 hasn't been too encouraging though. A general gauge of private and non-farm employment in the French economy. Not a major release by any means.
