      Yeah we need (needed?) IT workers because until a few years ago, salaries for tech positions were really low in France compared to the rest of Europe and the US, so lots of French developers and techs emigrated to these countries.

      Not sure about other industries, I work in IT so that’s what I know from personal experience.

        I worked with someone who moved to Germany/Austria/Switzerland (I can’t remember) from France to do IT work and pay a bit less taxes from this IT salary.

        I do believe French when they say they need IT workers.
