More About the Survey >>

Unique

It is unparalleled in its size, scope, longevity and area of focus. The ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey is the most extensive, forward-looking employment survey in the world, asking employers to forecast employment over the next quarter. In contrast, other surveys and studies focus on retrospective data to report on what occurred in the past.

Independent

The survey is conducted with a representative sample of employers from throughout the countries and territories in which it is conducted. The survey participants are not derived from ManpowerGroup’s customer base.

Robust

The survey is based on interviews with more than 40,000 public and private employers across 40 countries and territories to measure anticipated employment trends each quarter. This sample allows for analysis to be performed across specific sectors and regions to provide more detailed information.

Focused

For more than six decades the survey has derived all of its information from a single question: “How do you anticipate total employment at your location to change in the three months to the end of September 2022 as compared to the current quarter?”

Survey Methodology

The methodology used to collect the data for the Employment Outlook has been digitized in 40 markets for the Q3 2022 report.

Responses prior to Q1 2022 were contacted via telephone and are now collected in a double opt-in online panels where members are incentivized to complete the survey.

The question asked and the respondent profile remains unchanged. Size of organization and sector are standardized across all countries to allow international comparisons.
