The Monster Employment Index is a monthly analysis of online job demand conducted by Monster Worldwide, Inc. Based on a real-time review of millions of opportunities culled from a large selection of job boards including Monster, the Index presents a timely snapshot of employer online recruitment activity in the United States and Europe.

Because recruiting typically precedes actual hiring by a month or two, the Monster Employment Index is considered an important leading labor market indicator and an early gauge of the overall economy. It also provides a benchmark for the growing online recruiting industry, which is benefiting from the secular shift in advertising from print to the Internet.

The U.S. Monster Employment Index is released the day prior to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Employment Situation while the Monster Employment Index Europe is published on the second Tuesday of each month.
