Figures we no longer stand behind

The World Economic Forum’s 2024 Future of Jobs Report

Said to measure: the document said to project 69 million jobs created and 83 million displaced by 2027

Attributed to: World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report 2024

What was read: The Forum published no Future of Jobs Report in 2024; the editions are 2023 and 2025. Every figure this dossier prints, 69 million created, 83 million displaced, 23% churn to 2027, and the role-by-role percentages, comes from The Future of Jobs Report 2023, published 30 April 2023. The figures stand; the edition credited to them did not exist.

65% of job postings

Said to measure: the share of postings for formerly degree-free roles that now list a degree

Attributed to: Harvard Business School, Dismissed by Degrees: Updated Analysis

What was read: Dismissed by Degrees (October 2017; no 2024 update exists) prints 65% about childcare workers who said an associate’s degree was sufficient. Its degree-gap finding is that 67% of production-supervisor postings asked for a degree while 16% of incumbents held one.

Restated as: 67% of postings vs 16% of incumbents (citation [2])

The document prints the number. It measures something other than the sentence beside it claimed, so the sentence is withdrawn with the number it carried.

50% of tech workers at Apple, Google, and IBM

Said to measure: the share of tech workers at three employers without a four-year degree

Attributed to: Glassdoor, Education Requirements in Tech Hiring

What was read: Glassdoor publishes no document titled “Education Requirements in Tech Hiring”; its 2018 list of employers that dropped degree requirements prints no share of the workforce.

United States band is $95,000–$130,000

Said to measure: seven United States entry-salary bands set beside the APEC bands

Attributed to: NACE, Starting Salary Data by Role

What was read: NACE publishes no document titled “Starting Salary Data by Role”; its salary survey is a paywalled member product and none of the seven bands appears in any public NACE release.

€42,000–€52,000

Said to measure: entry pay for associate product managers and scrum masters in France

Attributed to: Association pour l'emploi des cadres, Baromètre APEC : salaires et recrutement des cadres

What was read: The row opened Apec's studies index. The dated Apec document it could name, the Baromètre 2025 de la rémunération des cadres (November 2025, opened 25 September 2026), prints an all-cadre median of €55,000 and no per-role entry band for candidates without a degree.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

a 10 to 15% premium

Said to measure: the Paris pay premium over Lyon, Toulouse, Nantes or Lille for the same role

Attributed to: Association pour l'emploi des cadres, Baromètre APEC : salaires et recrutement des cadres

What was read: The sentence gave no document for the premium and its row opened Apec's studies index. The Apec barometer for 2025, opened 25 September 2026, prints no Paris premium for these roles, so the figure has no document behind it.

50% of its job postings

Said to measure: the share of IBM job postings without a degree requirement in 2021

Attributed to: IBM, company statement (undated in the dossier)

What was read: The dossier carries no IBM document printing this share, so the figure leaves the dossier.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

60% of employers report difficulty filling roles

Said to measure: the share of employers worldwide who say they cannot fill roles

Attributed to: ManpowerGroup, Talent Shortage Survey 2024

What was read: ManpowerGroup’s 2024 Global Talent Shortage prints one headline share, and it is not 60%: "Today, 75% of employers report difficulty in filling roles", with 77% in health care and life sciences and 76% in information technology. 60% was the 2019 reading; the dossier carried it forward under a 2024 title.

Restated as: 75% of employers report difficulty filling roles (citation [10])

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

67 million young people actively seeking work

Said to measure: the number of unemployed young people worldwide standing beside the shortage figures

Attributed to: International Labour Organization, Global Employment Trends for Youth 2024

What was read: The ILO’s Global Employment Trends for Youth 2024, published 12 August 2024, prints the count precisely: "In 2023, 64.9 million young people aged 15 to 24 were unemployed worldwide": the lowest number in fifteen years, at a 13.0% rate. 67 million is not in the report; it rounds up a figure the report deliberately states as a fifteen-year low.

Restated as: 64.9 million young people were unemployed worldwide in 2023 (citation [8])

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

removing degree requirements increases the qualified applicant pool by 39%

Said to measure: the measured widening of the qualified pool when a degree filter is dropped

Attributed to: Harvard Business School, Dismissed by Degrees

What was read: Dismissed by Degrees (Fuller and Raman, October 2017) was read end to end. It prints degree-inflation findings, the share of postings demanding a degree for middle-skills roles, longer time to fill, higher cost, and 39% of employers reporting higher turnover among degree holders, and no measurement of a qualified pool widening by any percentage. The only 39% in the report describes turnover, not supply.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

72% of job postings in OECD countries still require a specific degree

Said to measure: the share of OECD job postings gated by a degree requirement

Attributed to: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Skills Outlook 2025. OECD Publishing, Paris

What was read: The OECD Skills Outlook 2025, published 9 December 2025, was read end to end. It discusses degree requirements twice, urging governments to remove unnecessary ones from public-sector hiring, and prints no share of postings requiring a degree, in any economy or aggregate. The figure is not in the edition it was credited to.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

30% of "unfillable" positions could be filled by existing candidates

Said to measure: the share of unfillable vacancies a shared skills taxonomy would close

Attributed to: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Skills Outlook 2025. OECD Publishing, Paris

What was read: The same reading of the OECD Skills Outlook 2025 finds no estimate of unfillable vacancies closed by a common taxonomy. The report describes ESCO as a "dictionary" for skills vocabularies and attaches no share of vacancies to it. The number was our inference presented as the OECD’s estimate.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

40-60% less

Said to measure: the cost of internal talent development against external hiring

Attributed to: McKinsey Global Institute, Human Capital at Work: The Value of Experience (2024)

What was read: Neither the carried OECD documents nor any carried citation prints this range, and the McKinsey entry had no stored document, so the figure leaves the dossier.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

roughly €1.2bn

Said to measure: the annual fees of the French strategy-consulting market

Attributed to: Consult'in France, Étude annuelle du marché du conseil en stratégie

What was read: A reading on 26 September 2026 of the body's current market study found no dated document printing this figure, so it leaves the dossier; the lede now prints the growth rates the studies do print.

above €40bn

Said to measure: the size of the European management-consulting market

Attributed to: FEACO, Survey of the European Management Consultancy

What was read: A reading on 26 September 2026 of FEACO's 2023/2024 survey found growth rates but no market total above €40bn, so the figure leaves the dossier; the lede now prints the growth rates the survey does print.

a 22–31% price premium

Said to measure: the price premium French provenance is said to command over comparable goods

Attributed to: Bain & Company, Global Luxury Market Study

What was read: The Bain & Company–Altagamma Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study, Fall 2024 (23rd edition, 13 November 2024) was read in full: it names France twice, in market tables, and measures no provenance premium of any size.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

the premium rises to 38%

Said to measure: the premium said to attach to leather goods designed and manufactured in France

Attributed to: Bain & Company, Global Luxury Market Study

What was read: The same edition carries no leather-goods provenance breakdown; its category tables report market size and growth, never a manufacturing-origin premium.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

~25x forward P/E

Said to measure: the forward earnings multiple at which LVMH shares were said to trade

Attributed to: Bloomberg, Bloomberg Terminal: LVMH Financial Data (MC FP Equity)

What was read: A terminal screen is a live product, not an edition: no dated document this dossier cites prints this multiple, and none can be identified after the fact.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

the CAC 40 (14x)

Said to measure: the index earnings multiple LVMH was said to trade at a premium to

Attributed to: Bloomberg, Bloomberg Terminal: LVMH Financial Data (MC FP Equity)

What was read: The index multiple shares the terminal’s provenance and the same defect: there is no dated edition to name, so the comparison cannot be checked by a reader.

its 5-year average (28x)

Said to measure: LVMH’s own five-year average earnings multiple, said to sit above the current one

Attributed to: Morgan Stanley Research, Global Luxury Outlook 2025

What was read: A sell-side note circulated to clients is not a document a reader can obtain; no public edition of it exists, so the five-year average leaves the dossier with the multiples it framed.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

213,000

Said to measure: the Group headcount at the end of 2023, printed in the metrics table and in a section heading

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH 2023 Annual Report

What was read: The 2023 Universal Registration Document prints the headcount to the unit: "Total headcount as of December 31, 2023 stood at 213,268 employees", of whom 196,686 were on permanent contracts. A rounded figure standing in front of an exact one loses the reader nothing but our credit for having read the filing.

Restated as: 213,268 (citation [1])

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

5,664

Said to measure: the number of stores in the Group network in 2023

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH 2023 Annual Report

What was read: The filing prints both numbers in one sentence: "The total number of stores in the Group’s network rose from 5,664 in 2022 to 6,097 in 2023." The dossier printed the 2022 count in a column headed "2023 Actual": the number is real, and it measures the year before.

Restated as: 6,097 (citation [1])

The document prints the number. It measures something other than the sentence beside it claimed, so the sentence is withdrawn with the number it carried.

the 5-Year CAGR column: +13.2% revenue, +16.1% operating profit, +9.4% employees, +6.8% stores

Said to measure: five-year compound growth rates for each headline metric, credited to a sell-side note

Attributed to: Bernstein Research, The Luxury Sector in 2025: Structural Winners

What was read: Bernstein Research publishes no such note to any reader: sell-side research is distributed to clients and carries no public edition, no page a reader can open and no date a reader can quote. A growth rate a reader cannot re-derive is an assertion, and this dossier now prints only rates it derives from the filings it cites.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

the Industry Rank column: #1 on revenue, operating profit, employees, stores and Maisons

Said to measure: a world ranking of the Group on five separate measures

Attributed to: Bernstein Research, The Luxury Sector in 2025: Structural Winners

What was read: No published league table ranks luxury groups on employees, store count and number of brands, and the note credited with it is not published at all. The revenue lead is visible in the peers’ own filings; the other four ranks were never measured by anybody.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

an estimated net worth of €233 billion

Said to measure: the personal wealth of the Group chairman, in euros, as of March 2025

Attributed to: Forbes, Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List

What was read: The Real-Time Billionaires List is a live screen, not an edition: it recomputes through the trading day, keeps no archive a reader can open at a stated date, and quotes dollars, never euros. There is no dated Forbes document behind a euro figure, and the dossier’s argument never needed one.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

3.2 million job applications in 2023

Said to measure: the volume of applications the Group received in one year

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: LVMH publishes no "Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023": its non-financial disclosure is the social and environmental chapter of the Universal Registration Document, which reports hires, departures, turnover and training and prints no application count in any year. The number has no publisher.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

a selectivity rate of approximately 6.6%, comparable to Harvard’s admission rate

Said to measure: how selective the Group is as an employer, expressed as hires over applications

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: The rate was computed from two figures the filing does not print together: an application count that appears in no LVMH publication and a hiring total that does not match the filing’s recruitment table. A ratio inherits the status of its worst input, and this one had no numerator at all.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

42,000

Said to measure: new hires made by the Group in 2023

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: The 2023 filing prints the recruitment total in its own table: 60,379 employees hired on permanent contracts during 2023, against 43,363 permanent-contract departures. 42,000 appears nowhere as a hiring figure, and it understates the printed one by nearly a third.

Restated as: 60,379 (citation [1])

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

LVMH will hire 42,000+ people in 2025

Said to measure: a forward hiring commitment a candidate could plan against

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: LVMH publishes no hiring target for 2025, in the Universal Registration Document or anywhere else; the sentence projected a withdrawn 2023 figure two years forward and printed the projection as a plan. What the filing does support is the size of a normal hiring year, which is what the dossier now prints.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

24%

Said to measure: the share of Group roles filled by internal mobility, set against a 12% industry average

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: The filing measures internal mobility twice, and neither measure is 24%: close to 18,000 employees took an internal mobility opportunity in 2023, and 72% of the most strategic roles were filled internally. The mechanism the dossier argued is real and stronger than the number it invented for it.

Restated as: 72% of the most strategic roles were filled internally (citation [1])

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

the Industry Average column: 12% internal mobility, 33% women in key positions, 22% under-30 employees, 16h training per employee

Said to measure: sector benchmarks against which the Group talent metrics were read as outperformance

Attributed to: Universum, Universum Global Employer Rankings 2024

What was read: Universum ranks employer attractiveness from student and professional surveys; it publishes no sector averages for internal mobility, gender mix, age structure or training hours, and no other publisher issues a luxury-sector series on those four measures. The comparison column was the argument, and it had no document.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

34%

Said to measure: the share of Group employees under thirty

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: The Universal Registration Document breaks headcount down by contract, region, business group and gender, and publishes no share of employees under thirty; the report the figure was credited to is not published at all. Nothing dated carries it.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

28h

Said to measure: average training hours per employee per year at the Group

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: The filing reports training in absolute hours delivered by programme and school, never as an average per employee, and the report credited with the average does not exist. A per-head average is a different measure from a programme total, and no publisher computed it.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

a bull case at +12% China growth and +€3.2B of LVMH revenue with 25% probability, a base case at +5% and +€1.1B with 50%, a bear case at -3% and -€1.8B with 25%

Said to measure: probability-weighted 2025 outcomes for LVMH revenue under three China scenarios

Attributed to: Morgan Stanley Research, Global Luxury Outlook 2025

What was read: Morgan Stanley Research distributes to clients and publishes no reader-obtainable "Global Luxury Outlook 2025": there is no edition, no page and no date behind the three scenarios or the probabilities attached to them. A probability nobody published is the least checkable figure a dossier can print, and it was carrying the dossier’s central risk section.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

46% reduction in Scope 1

Said to measure: the Group reduction in energy-related Scope 1 and 2 emissions against its 2019 baseline

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: The 2023 filing prints the trajectory in one sentence: "Between 2019 and 2023, Scope 1 and 2 emissions declined by 28% and the proportion of renewable energies rose from 47% to 63%." The 50% figure in the LIFE 360 chapter is the 2026 target, not a result; 46% is neither.

Restated as: Scope 1 and 2 emissions declined by 28% between 2019 and 2023 (citation [1])

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

100% renewable electricity

Said to measure: that the Group European operations run entirely on renewable electricity

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: The filing prints a Group-wide renewable share of 63% of the energy mix in 2023, up from 47% in 2019, and reports renewable supply site by site rather than as a completed European conversion. A 63% mix and a 100% claim cannot both describe the same year.

Restated as: renewable energy rose from 47% to 63% of the energy mix (citation [1])

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

€1.2 billion invested

Said to measure: cumulative Group investment in sustainable innovation since 2021

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: No LVMH publication discloses a cumulative sustainable-innovation spend: the environmental chapter reports targets, results and programme scope, and the only €1.2 billion in the filing is an insurance coverage limit in the risk chapter. The figure was read from the wrong page of a document that never claimed it.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

83% of strategic raw materials

Said to measure: the share of strategic raw materials already certified or traceable

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: The LIFE 360 chapter states the commitment as a deadline, not an achievement: all strategic raw materials are to be certified by 2026, with full supply-chain traceability targeted for 2030. The filing prints no share achieved in 2023, so the dossier now prints the deadline it does print.

Restated as: all strategic raw materials to be certified by 2026 (citation [1])

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

€2 Billion LIFE 360 Program

Said to measure: the budget of the Group environmental programme, printed as a section heading

Attributed to: LVMH, LVMH Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023

What was read: LIFE 360 is declared by LVMH as a set of dated targets across climate, biodiversity, circular design and traceability, with no budget attached in the Universal Registration Document or in any release. A programme heading that prints a number nobody published makes the number look like the programme’s definition.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

Attributed to: Schneider Electric France, Schneider Electric en France: carrières (undated careers page)

The earlier count is withdrawn and the dossier now prints the day the page was read.

Said to measure: the perimeter a French candidate would be hired into

Attributed to: Schneider Electric France, Schneider Electric en France: carrières (standing page, no edition)

What was read: The page carries no edition and revised its own count twice while this dossier was under review: 43 sites on 4 September 2026, 55 sites on 17 September 2026. Printing the reading day justifies an exhibit, never a corpus source, so the site count leaves the dossier and the French perimeter now rests on the 2025 annual-reporting figure of 15,244 people in France and on the site headcounts the group stated to its works council on 9 September 2026.

Restated as: 15,244 people in France (2025 reporting) (citation [1])

The only page that prints the figure is a standing surface with no editions: it can be revised without notice and cannot be dated, so it may carry a reading day in an exhibit but never stand as the document a figure rests on. The figure is withdrawn until a dated document prints it.

Said to measure: long-run growth in air passenger numbers

Estimated €51.7 billion for the first six EPR2 reactors

Said to measure: the published cost of the six-reactor EPR2 programme

Attributed to: EDF, Credited in this dossier as "EDF/French Government audits", with no edition named

What was read: EDF published its own forecast estimate for the six-reactor EPR2 programme on 18 December 2025 at 72,8 Md€2020, for Penly, Gravelines and Bugey, and stated that the estimate goes to the state programme delegation for audit in the first quarter of 2026. The figure this dossier printed is the publisher’s superseded number, and the credit beside it named no edition that could have dated it.

Restated as: 72.8 Md€2020 for six EPR2 reactors (EDF, 18 December 2025) (citation [2])

The publisher printed this figure and then revised it. The earlier value is withdrawn and the revision is named, because the reason for a revision is itself the finding.

The €51.7bn figure reflects an earlier EDF estimate

Said to measure: the method note conceding that more recent estimates were higher without naming one

Attributed to: EDF, Method note printed in this dossier, citing no edition

What was read: The note said the later estimates were higher and left the reader without one, which keeps a superseded figure in circulation while admitting it is superseded. The dated estimate existed and is now printed in the dossier instead.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The publisher printed this figure and then revised it. The earlier value is withdrawn and the revision is named, because the reason for a revision is itself the finding.

€50+ billion infrastructure mega-project

Said to measure: the order of magnitude of the programme, printed in the opening brief

Attributed to: No publisher: the brief carried no source, Executive brief printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: A rounded floor for a cost its publisher has since stated precisely is not a simplification, it is a looser version of a number that exists. The brief now prints the publisher’s own estimate and the date it carries.

at least six (and potentially up to fourteen) next-generation EPR2 reactors

Said to measure: the size of the reactor programme a candidate was being asked to plan a decade around

Attributed to: No publisher: the sentence carried no source, Executive brief printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The costed and sited programme is six reactors: EDF names Penly, Gravelines and Bugey on 18 December 2025 and puts the final investment decision at the end of 2026. The further eight are a political ambition no document read for this dossier commits to, and a candidate reading a hiring ramp cannot tell the two apart when they are printed in one sentence.

six EPR2 reactors, with an option on eight more

Said to measure: the programme headline used to introduce where the hiring happens

Attributed to: No publisher: the sentence carried no source, Section opening printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: An option is a contractual object and no document read for this dossier publishes one for eight reactors. What EDF publishes is a costed six-reactor programme at three named sites, a cadence of one reactor every twelve to eighteen months, and a decision date.

must recruit roughly 100,000 new professionals by 2033

Said to measure: the headline talent requirement of the French nuclear programme

Attributed to: GIFEN, Programme MATCH: synthèse de la note remise au Gouvernement (avril 2023)

What was read: The synthesis does not count professionals. It forecasts about 60,000 full-time-equivalent recruitments of new work capacity across the 125,000 core-trade jobs the sector held in 2023, and extrapolates about 100,000 across the 220,000 jobs of the whole sector. A full-time-equivalent of new work capacity is not a person hired, and the document says so in the same paragraph, adding that these are people already trained, experienced and fully operational.

Restated as: about 60,000 full-time-equivalent recruitments of new work capacity on the 125,000 core-trade jobs, extrapolated to about 100,000 across the sector’s 220,000 jobs (citation [3])

The document prints the number. It measures something other than the sentence beside it claimed, so the sentence is withdrawn with the number it carried.

counts gross recruitments over a decade, including replacement of retirements

Said to measure: the method note explaining what the 100,000 figure measures

Attributed to: GIFEN, Programme MATCH: synthèse de la note remise au Gouvernement (avril 2023)

What was read: The note was a second misreading laid over the first: the synthesis prints "capacité de travail nouvelle", new work capacity, and nowhere frames the total as gross hiring including retirements. The distinction matters to a reader deciding when to move, because a replacement need and a capacity need peak in different years.

The document prints the number. It measures something other than the sentence beside it claimed, so the sentence is withdrawn with the number it carried.

a supply chain of roughly 3,200 French companies

Said to measure: the size of the employer population a candidate could apply to

Attributed to: No publisher: the sentence carried no source, Section opening printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: No dated document read for this dossier counts the companies in the French nuclear supply chain. The MATCH synthesis counts jobs and perimeters, not firms, and the sector observatory page it sits behind publishes no edition. The count leaves the dossier and the four hiring layers, which are named employers a reader can check, carry the section instead.

Said to measure: the number of sites across which the owner-operator runs operations and maintenance

Attributed to: No publisher: the sentence carried no source, Hiring-layer list printed in this dossier with no cited document

China is currently constructing over 20 reactors

Said to measure: the scale of competing construction programmes outside Europe

Attributed to: No publisher: the sentence carried no source, Macro-context paragraph printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The dossier’s only statistical source is Eurostat, which counts European production and reactors, not construction elsewhere. A count with no document behind it adds nothing a reader can act on, and the paragraph’s point, that heavy-nuclear capability is contested, stands without it.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

commissioned roughly twelve years late at several times its initial budget

Said to measure: the base rate of cost and schedule drift a candidate should price into a decade-long commitment

Attributed to: Cour des comptes, La filière EPR : une dynamique nouvelle, des risques persistants (cited without a page or an edition)

What was read: The figures were printed as common knowledge beside a report the dossier cites but never quotes, and the report was not reachable on the day of review, so nothing could be located to carry them. The risk the bullet exists to state is now made from the documents this dossier can open: its own superseded cost figure, EDF’s 72,8 Md€2020 estimate of 18 December 2025, and the audit of that estimate due in the first quarter of 2026.

Outage and mobility premiums can add 5-20% in field roles

Said to measure: the premium a field role adds to the base pay bands printed beside it

Attributed to: APEC in the French mirror, nobody in the English, Credited in the French text only as "repères APEC, 2024", a document with no title, no edition and no address

What was read: The two languages did not even agree on whether the range had a source: the French credited an undated APEC reference the English did not print. No document this desk could open publishes an outage or mobility premium range for the French nuclear sector, so the range is withdrawn rather than re-credited.

negotiation anchors with roughly ±10% error

Said to measure: the precision claimed for the withdrawn pay bands

Attributed to: No publisher: the note carried no source, Method note printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: An error margin is a property of a measurement, and there was no measurement: the bands were a synthesis of unnamed postings and recruiter ranges. Printing a tolerance around them borrowed the authority of a statistic none of them had.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

the horizon is a 60-year asset life

Said to measure: the career horizon offered in exchange for base pay below software

Attributed to: No publisher: the sentence carried no source, Compensation paragraph printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: A design life is an engineering and licensing figure, granted reactor by reactor, and no document read for this dossier prints one for EPR2. What EDF does print is a commissioning target of 2038 for the first reactor at Penly and a cadence of twelve to eighteen months thereafter, which is the horizon a candidate can actually plan against.

Said to measure: the entry pay band for a certified nuclear welder in France

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Compensation Landscape table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The table was published as a benchmark with three bands for each of seven roles and cited nothing. No dated document this desk could open prints pay by post and seniority for the French nuclear sector, so all twenty-one ranges are withdrawn rather than re-sourced.

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Compensation Landscape table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The row was the one most likely to be quoted back to an employer, and it rested on nothing an employer publishes. Neither EDF nor Framatome nor the engineering firms named in this dossier print a band for the role.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

38 000-46 000 €

Said to measure: the entry pay band for a safety case and licensing engineer

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Compensation Landscape table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The dossier argues that written argument is the core professional skill in this sector, and then priced that skill with an unsourced number. The argument survives the withdrawal; the price did not deserve to.

34 000-42 000 €

Said to measure: the entry pay band for a radiation protection engineer

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Compensation Landscape table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: Radiation protection pay is set inside regulated employers and their branch agreements, none of which this dossier cites or read. The band had the shape of a document and the substance of an estimate.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

35 000-43 000 €

Said to measure: the entry pay band for project control and planning

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Compensation Landscape table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: Project control is the role most often filled from adjacent industries, so its pay is the most employer-specific of the seven and the least reducible to one national range.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

37 000-45 000 €

Said to measure: the entry pay band for an instrumentation and control engineer

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Compensation Landscape table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The last row of the table closes the same hole as the first: seven roles, three seniorities, twenty-one ranges, and not one document behind any of them. The dossier now states what it will not price and what would let it price it.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

15,000 employees across 43 sites

Said to measure: the company’s own French site count, used to weigh a larger figure quoted elsewhere

Attributed to: Schneider Electric France, Schneider Electric en France: carrières (undated careers page)

What was read: The same undated careers page this dossier weighs the “about 100 sites” claim against revised its count: 43 sites when read on 2 September 2026, more than 15,000 employees across 55 sites when read on 17 September 2026. The comparison stands on the current reading, with the reading day printed.

Restated as: 145 employees at Chasseneuil-du-Poitou, 287 at Beaumont-le-Roger, 294 at Le Vaudreuil, 166 at Pacy-sur-Eure (citation [19])

The publisher printed this figure and then revised it. The earlier value is withdrawn and the revision is named, because the reason for a revision is itself the finding.

more than 15,000 employees across 55 sites in France

Said to measure: the company figure used to weigh a larger count quoted elsewhere

Attributed to: Schneider Electric France, Schneider Electric en France: carrières (standing page, no edition)

What was read: This dossier weighed a widely quoted "about 100 sites" against a page that publishes no edition and revised itself from 43 to 55 sites in thirteen days. A count that moves without notice cannot correct another count, so both leave the prose and the French footprint is now read from dated documents: the Choose France investment of 19 May 2025 and the industrial reorganisation presented to the works council on 9 September 2026, which names four sites and their headcounts.

Restated as: 145 employees at Chasseneuil-du-Poitou, 287 at Beaumont-le-Roger, 294 at Le Vaudreuil, 166 at Pacy-sur-Eure (citation [19])

The only page that prints the figure is a standing surface with no editions: it can be revised without notice and cannot be dated, so it may carry a reading day in an exhibit but never stand as the document a figure rests on. The figure is withdrawn until a dated document prints it.

€50,000–€70,000

Said to measure: the pay band for a cyber security engineer with three to five years of experience in French defence

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Salary Benchmarks table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The table was published as a benchmark and cited nothing. No dated document this desk could open prints pay bands by role and seniority for the French defence sector, so the five bands and the clearance premium are withdrawn rather than re-sourced.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

€60,000–€90,000

Said to measure: the pay band for a defence systems engineer with five to ten years of experience

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Salary Benchmarks table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The band named MBDA, Thales and Naval Group beside it without citing any of their published pay documents. None of the three publishes a dated band for this role, and no state or sector source read for this dossier prints one either.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

€55,000–€85,000

Said to measure: the pay band for an artificial intelligence or machine learning engineer working in defence

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Salary Benchmarks table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The row also printed the direction of travel as "rapidly increasing", which no dated series supports for this role in France. The band and the trend leave the dossier together.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

€80,000–€130,000

Said to measure: the pay band for a programme manager with more than ten years of experience on major programmes

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Salary Benchmarks table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: FCAS and Rafale were named as the programmes this band applies to. The published record for both is procurement and expenditure, and neither prints the remuneration of the people managing them.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

€55,000–€80,000

Said to measure: the pay band for an export control specialist with more than five years of experience

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Salary Benchmarks table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The instruments this dossier does cite, Regulation (EU) 2021/821 and 22 CFR Parts 121 and 122, define the controlled scope and the registration duty. They say nothing about what the people who administer them are paid.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

+20% with Secret clearance

Said to measure: the pay premium a Secret-level clearance adds to a cyber security engineer’s salary in France

Attributed to: No publisher: the table carried no source, Salary Benchmarks table printed in this dossier with no cited document

What was read: The IGI 1300 of 9 August 2021 governs how a clearance is granted and for which post; it prices nothing. No published French series compares the pay of cleared and uncleared holders of the same post, so the premium is withdrawn as a number while the eligibility mechanism it sat beside stands.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

2029-2030 72% Full AI integration

Said to measure: a four-step timetable of skill disruption from 2025 to 2030

Attributed to: World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report 2025

What was read: The Future of Jobs Report 2025 prints one figure for the period: on average 39% of workers’ existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated over 2025–2030. It prints no year-by-year ladder.

Restated as: 39% over 2025–2030 (citation [2])

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

44% of workers’ core skills will be disrupted by 2027

Said to measure: the share of core skills the WEF expects to be disrupted by 2027

Attributed to: World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report 2025

What was read: The 44% figure belongs to the Future of Jobs Report 2023, which printed it over a five-year horizon. The 2025 edition supersedes it: on average 39% of workers’ existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated over 2025–2030.

Restated as: 39% over 2025–2030 (citation [2])

The publisher printed this figure and then revised it. The earlier value is withdrawn and the revision is named, because the reason for a revision is itself the finding.

12% of professionals

Said to measure: the share of professionals with a documented skill development strategy

Attributed to: Coursera, Global Skills Report 2024

What was read: The Global Skills Report 2024 was read in full. It measures learner enrolments and proficiency by country and prints no share of professionals holding a documented skill strategy.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

68% of upskilling initiatives

Said to measure: the share of upskilling initiatives abandoned before month 18

Attributed to: Coursera, Global Skills Report 2024

What was read: The Global Skills Report 2024 prints no abandonment rate for upskilling initiatives and no eighteen-month horizon; the sentence attributed the figure to OECD data that names no such measure either.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

professionals who actively signal their skill combinations receive 67% more inbound opportunities

Said to measure: the gain in inbound recruiter approaches earned by publicly signalling a skill combination

Attributed to: LinkedIn, attributed in the prose to “the LinkedIn data”, with no edition named

What was read: LinkedIn publishes no dated edition that prints this comparison. Its Workplace Learning and Future of Work reports were read for 2023, 2024 and 2025 and none of them measures inbound opportunities against profile signalling, so the figure is withdrawn and the sentence now says plainly that this desk prices no such gain.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

report 2.8x better returns on L&D investment

Said to measure: the return a tiered training budget earns over an evenly distributed one

Attributed to: McKinsey & Company, attributed in the prose as “(McKinsey, 2024)”, with no document named

What was read: No McKinsey publication of 2024 prints a 2.8x return on tiered learning and development spend. The dossier cites two McKinsey documents and neither contains the comparison, so the number leaves the argument while the tiering stays as this desk’s own framework.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

The OECD average is 4.7 months; top-performing organizations achieve 2.1 months

Said to measure: an OECD benchmark for the time between the start of training and productive use of the skill

Attributed to: OECD, attributed in the prose to an OECD average, with no edition named

What was read: The OECD publishes participation, duration and outcome statistics for adult learning and prints no average time to competency in months. Employment Outlook 2024 and Skills Outlook 2025, both cited by this dossier, were read for the measure and neither states it, so the pair is withdrawn and the reader is told to measure their own baseline.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

hiring roughly 1% of applicants

Said to measure: the share of applicants Google is said to hire

Attributed to: Alphabet Inc., Annual report and investor communications

What was read: Alphabet’s annual report and investor pages state headcount, never an application-to-hire ratio, and no Google publication prints one. The only ratio Google has put on the record came from Laszlo Bock: about 7,000 hires against 3 million applications: near 0.2%, five times smaller than the figure printed here.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

approximately 3.3 million job applications per year

Said to measure: the number of applications Google is said to receive every year

Attributed to: Alphabet Inc., Annual report and investor communications

What was read: 3.3 million is a single year’s count, not an annual rate: Google gave it to Axios for 2019, and has published no comparable figure since. Printed as a recurring per-year volume it states something the publisher never measured.

Restated as: 3.3 million job applications in 2019 (citation [6])

The document prints the number. It measures something other than the sentence beside it claimed, so the sentence is withdrawn with the number it carried.

r=0.58, vs. r=0.31 for positional authority

Said to measure: the correlation between emergent leadership and team performance, against positional authority

Attributed to: Journal of Organizational Behavior, 2023 study of emergent leadership

What was read: No 2023 article in the Journal of Organizational Behavior prints these coefficients. The journal’s 2023 paper on the subject: Galvin, Badura, LePine and LePine, “A theoretical integration of leader emergence and leadership effectiveness”, 10 June 2023 (doi:10.1002/job.2724): is a theoretical integration and reports no correlation of either size.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

rapid learners outperformed experienced hires by 23% at the 12-month mark

Said to measure: a Google internal result comparing fast learners with experienced hires after a year

Attributed to: Google re:Work, Google internal people-analytics research

What was read: Neither re:Work nor any other Google publication prints a 23% performance gap between fast learners and experienced hires. The internal research Google has published, Project Oxygen and Project Aristotle, both cited by this dossier, measures manager and team behaviour, not learning speed against tenure.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

2.5x more likely to be rated "transformative" after two years

Said to measure: the odds ratio said to attach to a high “Googleyness” score two years after hire

Attributed to: Google re:Work, Google internal people-analytics research

What was read: “Transformative” is not a rating category Google publishes, and no Google document prints a 2.5× multiplier for any attribute score. The attribute itself is documented in Google’s structured-interviewing guidance; the multiplier is not.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

15% of Google employees on some teams have no college degree

Said to measure: the share of Google staff on some teams said to hold no degree, as of 2024

Attributed to: Google, Google workforce composition (unnamed)

What was read: Google publishes workforce composition by gender, race and region in its diversity reporting, and has never published a share of employees without a degree: for the company, for a team, or for any year. There is no document behind the 15%.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

0.51 vs. 0.20 for unstructured (Huffcutt & Arthur, 1994)

Said to measure: the validity of structured against unstructured interviews, credited to Huffcutt and Arthur

Attributed to: Journal of Applied Psychology, Huffcutt & Arthur (1994), Hunter and Hunter (1984) Revisited: Interview Validity for Entry-Level Jobs

What was read: Huffcutt and Arthur (1994), Journal of Applied Psychology 79(2), 184–190, band interviews by degree of structure and report a corrected validity near 0.37 for the most structured band; the 0.51 / 0.20 pair is not their published pairing. The document this dossier already cites for the comparison is Schmidt and Hunter (1998), whose table prints 0.51 for structured and 0.38 for unstructured interviews.

Restated as: structured interviews at 0.51 against 0.38 for unstructured (citation [5])

The document prints the number. It measures something other than the sentence beside it claimed, so the sentence is withdrawn with the number it carried.

76% of talent professionals prioritize skills-based hiring

Said to measure: the share of talent professionals said to prioritise skills-based hiring

Attributed to: LinkedIn, Global Talent Trends 2024

What was read: LinkedIn’s talent research for 2024, Global Talent Trends (30 October 2024) and The Future of Recruiting 2024, was located and read: neither prints this share. The citation also names a rolling resource page rather than an edition, so there was no dated document to check it against in the first place.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

60% better quality of hire with skills-based approaches

Said to measure: the improvement in quality of hire attributed to skills-based approaches

Attributed to: LinkedIn, Global Talent Trends 2024

What was read: The same two LinkedIn publications print no quality-of-hire improvement of any size, and “quality of hire” is not a measured variable in either. A percentage improvement in an unmeasured variable cannot be repaired; it is withdrawn.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

20% drop in degree requirements in tech postings since 2021

Said to measure: the fall in degree requirements in technology job postings since 2021

Attributed to: LinkedIn, Global Talent Trends 2024

What was read: Neither located LinkedIn publication prints a change in degree requirements against a 2021 base. LinkedIn does publish postings analyses, but none this desk could locate carries this measurement, so the trend leaves the dossier with the two shares beside it.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

skills-based organizations are 63% more likely to achieve results

Said to measure: the advantage skills-based organisations are said to hold over traditional hiring

Attributed to: McKinsey Global Institute, Skills-Based Organizations (2024)

What was read: No McKinsey or McKinsey Global Institute publication of that title exists, and none prints this figure. The number circulates in third-party marketing content, where it is attributed to Deloitte rather than McKinsey: a publisher swap that is itself the finding. McKinsey’s own skills work (“Taking a skills-based approach to building the future workforce”, 15 November 2022) prints nothing of the kind.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

No publisher issues the document the figure was attributed to. A figure of this class is withdrawn and never re-attributed, because there is no document that carried it.

73% of hiring managers say a strong GitHub profile outweighs credentials

Said to measure: the share of hiring managers said to value a GitHub profile above credentials

Attributed to: HackerRank, 2024 Developer Skills Report

What was read: HackerRank’s 2024 Developer Skills Report (published 5 February 2024) surveys developers and hiring managers on skills, AI use and interview practice, and prints no comparison between a GitHub profile and credentials. The report is real, dated and does not contain the figure.

Not restated: no located document prints a value.

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.

65% of Fortune 500 companies will use simulation-based hiring by 2027

Said to measure: a World Economic Forum prediction about simulation-based hiring among the Fortune 500

Attributed to: World Economic Forum, The Future of Jobs Report (2024)

What was read: The Forum published no Future of Jobs Report in 2024 (the editions are 2023 and 2025), and no WEF publication forecasts simulation-based hiring among the Fortune 500 for 2027. The prediction has no document, and the edition it was credited to does not exist.

roughly 320,000 people across more than sixty countries

Said to measure: the size and geographic spread of the bank the dossier reads

Attributed to: J.P. Morgan, Annual Report and ESG Report

What was read: The 2024 Form 10-K, filed 14 February 2025, prints the figures exactly: 317,233 employees globally as of 31 December 2024, an increase of 7,307 on the prior year, located in 66 countries, with 59% of employees in the United States, and $4.0 trillion in assets. Neither 320,000 nor "more than sixty countries" is printed anywhere in it; both were rounded away from a disclosure precise enough to quote.

Restated as: 317,233 employees in 66 countries (citation [1])

The document exists, is dated, and was read. It does not print this figure, so the figure leaves the dossier rather than acquiring a new source.
