Gers, diversified jobs

As for many other French departments, agricultural jobs in Gers have been regularly decreasing since 1945 on behalf of secondary and tertiary jobs. Due to this, agriculture remains one of most important employers when taking into consideration that this department has a high agricultural vocation and is recognized as one of the most rural departments in France.

The constantly growing tertiary sector employs today more than half the working population: services, tourism and leisure, health, education…

Poorly industrialized Gers has today about 550 companies with over 10 employees, among which about 20 have more than 100 employees.

Developing Communication and Information New Technologies open broad prospects for this department which decided that it would stand out in this industry sector which brings many jobs.
