The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations are now releasing its measures for the service sector.
The SHRM/Rutgers LINE index is based on a monthly survey of Human Resource professionals at manufacturing and service sector firms. LINE measures change in five components: number of employees, number of vacant positions, difficulty in recruiting highly qualified employees, compensation offered to new hires, and hiring plans for the upcoming month.
You can sign up to receive updates when the SHRM/Rutgers LINE is released each month at www.shrm.org/linesignup. To find out more about LINE, go to www.shrm.org/line.
