Two unrivalled hubs located in areas with high-quality labour forces
The Moselle labour force is young (more than one-third of the population is under 25) and its hard-working attitude is recognized both in France and abroad. The long industrial tradition of the region means that the labour force is used to factory work, operational very rapidly and familiar with shift work.
Illange-Bertrange megazone :
Thionville employment area
Population : 500,000
Density (pop/sq. km) : 244
Active employed population : 200,000
Farébersviller-Henriville megazone :
eastern Moselle employment area
Population : 182,000
Density (pop/sq. km): 250
Active employed population : 104,000
An attractive area with excellent infrastructure :
The department council has supervised the building of the Moselle broadband network (RHD 57). Its 1,130 km of very high speed (15 megabit to 40 gigabit) optical fibres mean that the whole of Moselle benefits from high-performance telecommunications infrastructure and services.
The success of the Moselle department is shown by a few figures :
Over 10 years (2000-2010), 18,800 promises of employment for 3 billion euros of investment in 718 projects. 40% of the investment is by foreign companies.
