I spent a month in Paris on business some years back and I fully understand
why jobs have left the country.

Paris is in much better shape than most cities. The phenomenon is

It has everything to do with employee ethics and labor laws. France falls
short on all accounts. It is not a world wide phenomeon.

I know of many companies that are doing this worldwide (at least
throughout the developed world). Some of them are firing essentially
everyone except top management.

If it's software related, the work is sometimes outsourced to India, China,
and eastern Europe (lower cost) and away from North America and western
Europe (higher cost). The issue was noticed most by software developers
when the dot-com bubble burst. Classic free market situation, really. But
the situation isn't as bad today as it was for software developers a couple
years ago, though.

Jim,

You misunderstand. If jobs are leaving "worldwide", they have to leave "the
world".

number of factors.
