U.S. Job Creation Nears Four-Year High
May 2, 2012
Gallup's Job Creation Index increased to +20 in April from +18 in March and is now at its best level since July 2008.
While better hiring levels are occurring in the private sector, government workers are reporting job cuts.
The April Job Creation Index of +20 is based on 36% of workers nationwide saying their employers are hiring workers and expanding the size of their workforce, and 16% saying their employers are letting workers go and reducing the size of their workforce. This is similar to March, when 35% of workers reported workforce expansion at their place of work, while 17% reported workforce reduction.
The current 36% "hiring" figure is the highest since August 2008, and the current 16% "letting go" figure is the lowest since July of that year.
