With the Eco Trans Express, modernization of airports and, most importantly, the new coastal road, the community provides for the creation of thousands of jobs. Didier Robert, president of the Regional Council, promised that between 8000 to 12,000 jobs will result from the single site of the new coast road.
Heavily criticized by the business world who does not see major projects starting, the response area. The president spoke Tuesday the progress of three major projects for which funding is tied by the new Matignon. The Eco Trans Express, the modernization of two airports and especially the new coast road are the engine of economic recovery, Didier Robert promises.
Many projects that advance "forced march", reiterated the president of Region. Most regional hopes to create thousands of jobs. This is the promise of a breath of fresh air in an island hit by rising unemployment (102,000 unemployed in the second quarter 2011). These major projects are expected to reboost a construction industry that has lost 10,000 jobs since 2009.
Didier Robert is very optimistic. He moves well: "The construction of the new coast road alone will create between 8,000 and 12,000 direct and indirect jobs." To support his estimate and runs over a period of seven years (2013-2020), he relies on "data from the FRBTP". The latter are acting as one million euros invested in public works, eight jobs are created. It is still vague and theoretical to the projects. To refine the whole, the Region has just signed a framework agreement Tuesday with the employment center, CARIF-OREF and the state on local employment related to major projects. This document is primarily intended to assess the needs looking into jobs and skills based on the books, to anticipate and assess the human resources mobilized and identify the necessary training to develop.
