Regionally, employers in the Midwest (+23) and the South
(+19) are consistently hiring and expanding more than employers in the East
(+16) and West (+16). In addition,
nongovernment employers continue to score higher on the Job Creation Index
(+22) than public-sector employers (+4).
However, in October, federal government employers (+8 percentage change)
and state government employers (+5 percentage change) showed a significantly greater
increase in Job Creation Index scores than private sector employers (+1 percentage
change).
Ultimately, nationally,
the Gallop Job Creation Index remains steady and positive. However, the
nation’s net-hiring score has not yet been restored to its pre-Recession
2008 peak (+26). It is predicted that in response to the 2012 election, hiring and firing
averages will fluctuate. If government leaders are able to effectively respond
to economic challenges and implement national policies that boost employers’
confidence in the economy, it can be expected that the nation’s net-hiring
score will improve.
