JobStreet.com Employee Confidence Index
The JobStreet ECI is a measure of a jobseeker's confidence in finding a job. It ranges from zero (very poor) to 100 (very good). A low index shows a tough job market where many people find it difficult to get a job. A high index shows a comfortable job market where many people are able to secure a good job.
The index fluctuates with time and its trend is an important indication of the production and economic development of the nation. The sampling size for each month's index averages 3,000 respondents.
In July, we saw the JobStreet Employee Confidence index dip at a time when the impact of fuel price hikes in the region finally sank in and prompted inflation rates to rise as a result of increasing cost of living. However, the confidence level seemed to have returned as the JobStreet ECI actually registered a turn-around to 50.1 points in August, a 2.2-point increase from the previous month.
