Your source points out that jobs in the public sector are restricted to EU citizens. The 10% unemployment figure is for everyone in France, the figures for immigrants and refugees are far higher. No doubt that the riots encourage xenophobic fears. The rioters don't care since their peaceful protests, those we never hear about, have not produced any improvement in their employment situation. In France to get a pension you have to have work, otherwise you get a very small amount to get by on. You can see the problem by reading the footnotes to table 4. "Using mindless violence to protest social conditions doesn't normally elicit thoughts of sympathy for the protesters....." Does non-mindless violence elicit thoughts of sympathy normally?
