The Philippines registered a below-average market confidence as Filipinos see fewer opportunities and more difficult barriers, reversing the previous surveys as one of the most optimistic markets in the Asia Pacific, according to the latest survey of LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network.
The LinkedIn Opportunity Index is an annual composite measure that seeks to understand how people perceive opportunities and the gaps that stand in the way of achieving them.
