Working women and young professionals more troubled about current job market: LinkedIn

CHENNAI: Covid-19 second wave has dented the confidence level of professionals across sectors about the job market.

India’s overall workforce confidence has declined after peaking in early March with a composite score of +54 today compared to four points from +58 in March, the findings of the most recent edition of LinkedIn’s Workforce Confidence Index shows.

This dip in confidence is reflected strongly across professionals from creative industries such as entertainment, design, and media who expressed being uncertain about the future of their employers. “But as several parts of the economy gradually reopen, professionals from software & IT and hardware & networking are growing increasingly confident about the future of their organizations,” LinkedIn said.
