據Manpower季度調查報告顯示,在美國和其它許多國家,反映企業雇聘意愿的凈就業前景指數均有所改善,表明就業率可能在明年第一季度恢復增長。
請看外電的報道:
The global employment services company said its seasonally adjusted US net employment outlook was plus-6 for the first quarter in 2010, up from minus-2 in the fourth quarter of 2009.
全球就業服務公司表示,2010年第一季度調整后的美國凈就業前景指數為+6,與今年第四季度的-2相比有所上升。
在上面的報道中,net employment outlook就是“凈就業前景指數”,employment Outlook is the chance of you getting a job in a certain field. This could include how many jobs are out there and how many jobs are needed in a certain field(凈就業前景指數就是你在特定領域找到工作的幾率,這其中包括該領域所有的工作崗位數量以及目前有空缺的崗位數量)。
那么凈就業前景指數又該如何計算呢?
A net employment outlook is calculated by subtracting those employers who plan to reduce staffing levels from those who plan to hire staff. A positive result indicates that more employers plan to increase rather than decrease staffing levels; a negative result reflects the opposite.
凈就業前景指數可以通過用那些打算招聘員工的雇主數量減去那些打算裁員的雇主數量計算出來。如果結果為正數,說明更多的雇主打算增加雇員數量而非裁員;如果結果是負數,則為相反。
顯然,凈就業前景指數越高,就是越發positive employment outlook(積極的就業前景);相反則是gloomy employment outlook(就業前景黯淡)。
