Jobseekers registered at Pôle emploi

Category B: jobseekers required to do positive job-seeking actions, having been in a short reduced activity (by 78 hours or less during the month). Category C: jobseekers required to do positive job-seeking actions, having been in a long reduced activity (over 78 hours during the month). Category D: jobseekers who are not required to do positive job-seeking actions, unemployed. They may be on traineeship or training, in sickness, under a professional security contract (CSP). Category E: jobseekers who are not required to do positive job-seeking actions, in employment (e.g. beneficiaries of assisted contracts, start-ups). These statistical categories, used for publication purposes, come from a grouping of the operational categories used by Pôle emploi in its management of the lists of jobseekers.
