The Covid-19 crisis has brought the term resilience back to the forefront. Particularly relevant to explain the effects of rebound or the inability to react, this term makes it possible to apprehend the effects of a globalized crisis on territories without, however, reflecting the real situations of the different areas considered. We propose to estimate the impact of Covid-19 in two french territories: an area that can be defined as an industrial countryside, Nord Poitou, with a metropolitan area located in the inner suburbs of Paris, Est Ensemble. While in the former, the number of jobs tends to decrease at the same time as the unemployment rate, industry remains anchored in its territory. The second territory offers a more fragile balance between an increasing number of available jobs and a structurally high unemployment rate. While the measures taken to cushion the crisis, mainly by Europe and the State, have made it possible to get through the year 2020, these two regions are anchoring their resilience in what characterizes them over the long term. Whether in a low-density area or in a metropolitan area, the trajectories follow major trends, the fruit of historical specificities, and are part of national sectoral dynamics.
