January 2005
Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data): Total employment, as measured by the
household survey, was little changed
at 140.2 million, seasonally adjusted, in January. The employment-population
ratio--the proportion of the population age 16 and older with jobs--remained
at 62.4 percent. The civilian labor force was 148.0 million, after seasonal
adjustment. The labor force participation rate edged down over the month to
65.8 percent.
Confidence Index
With corporate profits and optimism on the rise,
ExecuNet's Recruiters Confidence Index continued to increase in January. The recent survey of 140 executive recruiters conducted by ExecuNet, the executive job search and recruiting network, shows the demand for executive talent will rise in the first and second quarters of 2005.
According to the survey, 76% of recruiters are confident or very confident the executive employment market will improve during the next six months - up from 74% in November 2004. During the first two quarters of 2005, the executive search industry is expecting a 17% increase in the number of assignments received from corporate clients.

Who's The Best?
America's best employers are creating jobs, absorbing high health care costs, and improving internal
communications. These are the most important trends gleaned from the data for FORTUNE's "100 Best Companies
to Work for 2005" list by Great Place to Work® Institute, the
global research and consulting firm that compiles the list for the magazine each year.
The list appeared in FORTUNE's January 24th issue.
