Jean-Pierre Robin: 'Our border workers bring France twice as much money as tourism'

The article discusses the daily commute of nearly 520,000 French workers who cross borders to work in neighboring countries, earning up to three times more than they would in France. Specifically, it highlights the case of Annemasse, where approximately 10,000 residents travel by train to Geneva via the Léman Express to work at the local hospital. These workers earn significantly higher salaries in Switzerland compared to France, with a monthly gross salary of around €6,500 for some roles. The piece emphasizes the economic benefits these workers bring back to France, suggesting their contributions exceed those of the tourism sector.
