As France's largest hemp textile center, Lyon, long famed as the "Continental Silk Centre," has now developed into a metropolis second only to Paris.
At this moment, this dazzling jewel has lost its luster. Affected by the dumping from the Anglo-Austrian two countries, the French industrial and commercial sectors are facing their cruellest challenge.
The vast majority of businesses have already announced layoffs and production cuts, and the ranks of job seekers on the streets are growing day by day, with very few new job openings.
Almost every recruitment drive leads to a disturbance. Even for hiring just three to five people, dozens would apply.
