All survey participantswere asked, How do youanticipate total employmentat your location to changein the three months tothe end o June 2011 ascompared to the current

quarter?

India Employment OutlookIndian employers predict a booming labor market in

Outlook o +49%. This is the most optimistic Outlook

Throughout this report, we use the term Net

Employment Outlook. This igure is derived by

taking the percentage o employers anticipating total

employment to increase and subtracting rom this the

percentage expecting to see a decrease in employment

at their location in the next quarter. The result o this

calculation is the Net Employment Outlook.

The Outlook strengthens both quarter-over-quarter and

year-over-year, improving by 8 and 13 percentage points,

respectively.

Once the data is adjusted to allow or seasonal variation,

the Outlook stands at +51% with Indian employers

reporting the strongest hiring intentions since the survey

began. Quarter-over-quarter, hiring plans improve by 8

percentage points, while year-over-year, the Outlook is

13 percentage points stronger.From this point orward, all data discussed in the

commentary is seasonally adjusted, unless stated

quarterly to measure employers intentions to increase or

decrease the number o employees in their workorces during

the next quarter. The survey has been running or more

than 48 years and is one o the most trusted surveys o

employment activity in the world. Various actors underpin the

success o the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey:

Unique: It is unparalleled in its size, scope, longevity and area

o ocus.

Projective:The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey is

the most extensive, orward-looking employment survey in

the world, asking employers to orecast employment over the

retrospective data to report on what occurred in the past.

Independent: The survey is conducted with a representative

sample o employers rom throughout the countries in which

it is conducted. The survey participants are not derived rom

Manpowers customer base.

Robust: The survey is based on interviews with nearly

64,000 public and private employers across 39 countries

and territories to measure anticipated employment trends

each quarter. This sample allows or analysis to be perormed

across speciic sectors and regions to provide more detailed

inormation.

Focused: For nearly ive decades, the survey has derived all

o its inormation rom a single question.

Survey QuestionAll employers participating in the survey worldwide are asked

the same question, How do you anticipate total employment

at your location to change in the three months to the end o

June 2011 as compared to the current quarter?

MethodologyThe Manpower Employment Outlook Survey is conducted

using a validated methodology, in accordance with the

highest standards in market research. The research team or

the 39 countries and territories where the survey is currently

conducted includes Manpowers internal research team

and Inocorp Ltd. The survey has been structured to be

representative o each national economy. The margin o error

or all national, regional and global data is not greater than

+/- 3.9%.

Net Employment OutlookThroughout this report, we use the term Net Employment

Outlook. This igure is derived by taking the percentage

o employers anticipating an increase in hiring activity and

subtracting rom this the percentage o employers expecting

to see a decrease in employment at their location in the next

quarter. The result o this calculation is the Net Employment

Outlook.
