France labour laws are pretty bad. It basically shuts out the young because once you hire a french worker, it's hell and high water to fire them. Unemployment is at %9.6 right now and %25 for youth.

France does not have a competitive labor market, that is for certain! However 9.6% is a low rate of unemployment for France historically.
