The DSJ Global Job Confidence Index 2020 is a new annual report that aims to measures confidence in the supply chain labor market and provide some answers to these questions. The index reports on professionals’ confidence in the economy, getting or holding a job, their compensation and bonus, and whether the normal push-and-pull factors in employment have changed.
We surveyed respondents from Asia Pacific between February and March and respondents from Europe, the Middle East, and the US between March and May. Coincidentally, we captured how their confidence changed with the onset and spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
