The standard of living in France has seen a slight rise, but remains below the levels seen before the financial crisis, new figures show.
The median standard of living was €20,300 per year in 2015, the most recent year for which data is available, according to figures published by national statistics agency Insee this week. That works out at €1,692 each month. This was a small increase of 0.4 percent from the previous year, but is still below the standard of living recorded in 2008.
Insee said that the small rise remains in keeping with the long-term stagnation of the average standard of living since the global economic crisis.
According to the new figures, the poorest ten percent of the French population lived on an average of €10,860, while the richest ten percent had a standard of living which was 3.5 times greater, at €37,510. …

Elect Le Pen.
Of course, this has nothing to do with their invader problem.
For middle class America, in regards to once traditional purchases such as the young buying homes, I guess our standard the U.S. is well below what it was decades ago.
Le Pen didn’t exactly have much of a economic plan...her agenda was with asylum and immigration...fixing that. If the National Front had spent two or three years talking about the economy and put effort into a real program....they would have gotten more votes.
Same problem with Germany’s AfD Party....lot of hype over asylum and immigration...virtually no talk over the economy other than wanting some taxation cuts.
What is she going to do? Yet another socialist. And if she actually does stop the hijrah, it comes at a price.
There is also that remaining stigma having to do with Jean-Marie le Pen. His daughter is doing nothing to erase it.
I suggested electing the woman who opposes Globalism and wants France to be for the French and not for the Muslim invaders.
But perhaps you are correct. Perhaps her policies are not well suited to reviving the French economy.
What’s your suggestion?
I am not sure she opposes globalism per se either. She would prefer her own form of it. She went left on homosexual “civil unions”, abortion and the death penalty too.
At this point, the Fifth Republic is a failed state. They take all of their cues from Berlin anyhow. The demise of the Fourth Republic had to do with the creation of what became the EU, too.
I saw an hour-long interview with LePen last year or perhaps the year before...she's a stone-cold socialist. Lots of talk about nationalization of key industries and so on. Maybe the French just didn't want that crap.
The "richest" 10% at 37k? Sounds waaay low...
Of course, this has nothing to do with their invader problem.
There has to be a fair number of “Atlas” styled French women and men, that carry the weight for the rest of the lazy, shifty population.
