Description
Definition
The Job Climate Index measures the attitudes about a community's efforts to provide economic opportunities.
INDEX QUESTIONS
- Right now, do you think that economic conditions in the city or area where you live, as a whole, are getting better or getting worse? (WP88)
- Thinking about the job situation in the city or area where you live today, would you say that it is now a good time or a bad time to find a job? (WP89)
INDEX CONSTRUCTION
Index scores are calculated at the individual record level. For each individual record, the following procedure applies: The two items are recoded so that positive answers are scored as a "1" and all other answers, including don't know and refused, are assigned a score of "0." If a record has no answer for an item, then that item is not eligible for inclusion in the calculations. An individual record has an index calculated if it has valid scores for both questions. A record's final index score is the mean of valid items multiplied by 100. The final country-level index score is the mean of all individual records for which an index score was calculated. Country-level weights are applied to this calculation.
RELIABILITY
The Job Climate Index has a Cronbach's alpha of .85 when aggregated at the country level.
