One of the founding members of United Nations, France has always been in the center-stage of world politics. It remains an important destination for art and fashion and has been at the forefront of literature and music. France has shown strong economic performance and is expected to grow steadily. INSEAD which is ranked as the best B School in the world by Financial Times, along with other highly ranked institutions is helping in creating a steady stream of highly qualified business professionals.
France ranks 7th on our list of highest paying countries for business majors. It is also ranked at number 4 among the countries having most Fortune 500 companies.
It also pays relatively higher salaries, only lower than Switzerland and UK. However, it is ranked lower on the list due to its relatively slow economic growth as well as its negative growth in salary. Hopefully, in coming years, the government would establish majors that would further strengthen the economic performance improving job market and in turn improving salary packages for business majors.
