About the Survey 8
Please note that throughout this report, the figure used in all graphs is the “Net Employment Outlook.” This figure
is derived by taking the percentage of employers anticipating an increase in hiring activity and subtracting from this
the percentage of employers that expect to see a decrease in employment at their location in the next quarter. In
addition, percentage totals may not equal 100% due to rounding.
