Professionals in India are confident about their career progress despite growing uncertainties about the job market and financial future in the current environment, says a survey. According to the latest LinkedIn Workforce Confidence Index, there has been a decline in India s overall confidence, as the composite score dropped from 58 in December 2020 to 54 in January 2021. The survey attributes this dip in optimism to the workforce s growing concerns about the status of the pandemic, surmounting expenses, and job availability in the present economic climate. This professional uncertainty comes right after the year-end holiday season, when India s hiring rate dropped to 17 per cent year-over-year in December 2020, according to the latest edition of LinkedIn s Labour Market update.
