Florida Employment Report: Employee Confidence Index Continues to Edge Upward; More Workers Feel Secure in Their Jobs
Friday, July 18, 2008
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The Florida Employee
Confidence Index increased 1.3 points to 46.5 in June, according to the latest
Spherion(R) Employment Report. The monthly survey of Florida workers,
conducted by Harris Interactive(R) on behalf of Spherion Corporation, reveals
that more workers are confident in the economy and future of their current
employers.
Results from the Florida Employment Report:
-- Eleven percent of workers believe the economy is getting stronger, an
increase of four percentage points from the previous month.
-- Eighty-two percent of workers feel it is unlikely they will lose their
job in the next 12 months, a rise of 14 percentage points from May.
-- The percentage of workers confident in the future of their current
employer increased six percentage points to 69 percent in June.
"It's a pleasant surprise to see the Index continuing to inch up
considering all of the economic strain being felt across the country," said
Paula Franco, branch manager for Spherion Staffing Services in Florida. "It
seems that Florida workers are holding steady at the moment and feel secure in
their current position and employers, which doesn't come as much of a
surprise. Employers are having to 'up the ante' in order to entice these
passive workers to jump the fence into new employment. In fact, this hesitancy
is being seen on both the candidate and client side, with the hiring process
taking longer. Despite this trend, we are seeing steady hiring activity,
especially in the customer service, accounting and finance, technology and
retail industries."
