>This is what's killing the French economy right now because their labour laws mean employers are biased against hiring new workers.
No, that's just what French employers like to whinge about the most in the business press.
French labour laws are unique to France. France isn't the only country in Europe suffering from economic malaise - most of them are. The unifying feature is EU budgetary rules - austerity - not the fact that French employers can't use the threat of firing as a terror tactic against their workers.
