Job Offers Barometer up in November – BIEC, KM UITM

The Job Offers Barometer, indicating changes in the number of employment ads published on the Internet, increased in Poland in November 2019 compared to the October reading, the Investment and Economic Cycles Office (BIEC) and the Department of Macroeconomics at the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów (KM UITM) informed. The value of the index in November was 250.3 points. against 247.9 points in October. However, the authors of the report say that the November reading is just a slight correction of the downward trend observed since the beginning of the year. The indicator has lost 8.6 percent of its value since January.
“As a result, in the second half of this year, the number of offers fell below the level from the previous year. Contrary to falling tendencies at an aggregate level, there are categories of job offers, although few, in which we note increases. These include marketing, energy and the education industry. On the other hand, the decline occurs in categories providing the most employment offers, e.g. in sales,” the report reads.
