According to the note on the economic situation published at the end of September by the Insee, the Île-de-France economy continues to lose momentum, with the volume of paid hours decreasing by 0.7 percent over one year, marking the seventh consecutive decline. Employee employment has stagnated, and unemployment has reached 8.2 percent of the active population, its highest level since the health crisis. The region now exceeds the average of metropolitan France. In this context, a few sectors hold on, with industry being the most unexpected. Its employee employment increases by 0.2 percent, as in the previous quarter, and outside of the automotive sector, its paid hours increase by 0.5 percent. The figure is modest but goes against the trend. The tertiary sector, however, remains weak, with merchant services concentrating three-quarters of the region's paid hours but declining for the sixth consecutive quarter. Information and communication, the showcase of Parisian modernity, continue to lose jobs, and accommodation sees its hours decrease with the decline of foreign clientele. Paris intra-muros follows the same slope, with Parisian unemployment remaining the lowest in the region at 6.6 percent, though it is increasing. The resistance of the industry is not a miracle but due to the nature of the fabric. Industry represents 7 percent of Île-de-France employee employment against 12 percent nationally but generates 18 percent of the country's industrial value added. What remains is what earns: aerospace, energy, electronics, research, and headquarters. Deindustrialization has made the selection and left only the least delocalizable activities. The quarter confirms this, with the paid hours in the production of transport equipment outside of the automotive industry jumping by 3.6 percent. Electronics gain 3 percent, and electricity production also progresses, both driven by the multiplication of data centers. The Insee records 2,320 creations in industry for the quarter, a figure that decreases after a start of the year close to the record but remains high. However, two-thirds are micro-enterprises. Failures decrease slightly for the quarter and remain stable over one year. The automotive industry is an exception, caught between strict European norms, high prices, and fierce global competition, continuing its restructuring. Billancourt has not assembled cars since 1992, and the region continues to pay the heritage of this industry. One question remains: Can an industry so concentrated cushion shocks durably? Its specialization is its strength but also its fragility. A reversal of the aerospace cycle or a pause in digital investment would be enough to jam the mechanism. The resilience of a niche is not that of an ecosystem. Paris has kept the best of its industry. It may not have kept enough.
