By

-- スイス経済研究所(KOF)は月曜日、エネルギーコストの上昇やイラン紛争に起因する世界的なサプライチェーンの不安定化にもかかわらず、スイス企業の第2四半期の雇用見通しは堅調に推移したと発表した。 KOF雇用指数は、改定値である第1四半期の2.1ポイントから2.2ポイントに上昇し、長期平均の1.7ポイントをわずかに上回った。一方、今後3ヶ月間の雇用見通しの純バランスは2.9ポイントで横ばいとなり、人員削減よりも雇用を計画する企業が増加した。 業種別に見ると、卸売業と製造業は依然として縮小傾向にあるものの、雇用見通しは改善した。逆に、宿泊業、小売業、その他のサービス業の見通しはやや軟化した。
