California Employee Confidence Dropping

The California Employee Confidence Index dropped 1.5 points in February to 61.5, according to the latest Spherion(R) Employment Report. This recent survey of California workers, conducted by Harris Interactive(R) on behalf of Spherion Corporation, shows that fewer workers are confident in their ability to find a new job and in the future of their current employer. The survey also found that more workers were likely to look for a new job in the next year. “After rising to a new high in January, we saw the percentage of workers confident in California drop last month as fewer have confidence in their personal job situations,” explained Lauren Steel, territory vice president for Spherion. “This is somewhat surprising because workers of all skills and levels are in high demand, especially in the major metropolitan areas across the state”.
