Methodology

The Robert Walters Asia Job Index tracks the number of job advertisements on a daily basis across the executive appointments sections of key newspapers and leading online job boards in Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong. In China, job opportunities are largely advertised online via job portals and as such, the index will only track online job advertisements for this market.
