Renewed Irish career confidence, claims survey index
Irish people are regaining confidence in the future of their career, according to a survey of full-time workers.
The findings lifted the Career Confidence Index in Ireland to 49.9, up from 44.9 six months ago.
Ireland lost considerable trust in the jobs market between March and November 2003 but is now back with an index that comes above the March 2003 figure.
Big differences exist between European Union countries individually, however, the survey by Right Management Consultants, trading in Ireland as Right Transition, found.
Norway is home to the most confident workers, showing an impressive jump in an already 'high' Career Confidence Index, followed by Spain.
Germany and Switzerland registered a 'low' confidence trend with ongoing negative figures.
Right Management Consultants organises the Career Confidence Index twice per year in 18 countries around the world, interviewing almost 10,000 employees globally.
Since the first edition, just over a year ago, Ireland gained a total of 0.4 points on Right's Career Confidence Index.
