The Monster Employment Index is a monthly gauge of online job posting activity in Middle-East based on a real-time review of tens of thousands of employer job opportunities culled from a large representative selection of career Web sites and online job listings. 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.

“Owing to the global business scenario, the employers in the Middle east continue to adopt a cautious approach in hiring. This is reflective in the double digit drop in the Monster Employment Index,” said Sanjay Modi, Managing Director, Monster.com (India/ Middle- East/ South East Asia).
