The Monster Employment Index Europe is a monthly analysis of millions of online job opportunities culled from a large, representative selection of corporate career sites and job boards across Europe, including Monster. The Index does not reflect the trend of any one advertiser or source, but is an aggregate measure of the change in job listings across the industry.

"The Monster European Employment Index has remained positive since May 2010, currently maintaining a healthy 21% growth over last year. It is encouraging to see industrial production is still continuing to drive online recruitment," commented Alan Townsend, Vice President of Sales Readiness and Business Operations for Monster Europe. "The decline in public sector activity contrasts to the slight growth of previous months and will be interesting to monitor in terms of continuing calls for government cuts to services across this sector."
