The City of Paris has announced it is to create 802 new jobs by 2015. Paris will recruit 1292 employees by 2015 and within the same period, it will cut about 490 positons mainly through non-replacement of those departing for retirement or other reasons. The new jobs will be created in sports and garden services, nursery facilities, schools and to support policies in favour of children.
