Business managers are more optimistic on the expected developments of their staff size
In September 2019, employment prospects have improved: the balance of opinion on expected staff size, already above its average, has kept increasing and has almost recovered to its June 2019 level. However, less business managers than in August have reported an increase in their staff size over the last three months. The corresponding balance has decreased a bit but stay nevertheless above its long-term average.

Production bottlenecks are more and more felt
In September 2019, the production capacity utilisation rate has increased slightly. It has reached 91.8%, above its average (88.6%). At the same time, 48% of business managers have reported production bottlenecks, against one out of three on long-term average. This share went up sharply compared to the previous month. Furthermore, 26% of business managers have declared production bottlenecks due to workforce shortage, a share slightly higher than last month and far above its long-term average (14%). These two shares stand at their highest level since the summer of 2008.
