The opinion about past employment has deteriorated but employments prospects have improved
In November 2019, business managers’ opinion on the change in their staff size over the last three months has deteriorated. The related balance has fallen back, while remaining well above its average. However, the employments prospects are more favourable than in October: the corresponding balance has sharply bounced back and stays then well above its long-term average.

Pressures on productive capacities are as strong as in October
In November 2019, the production capacity utilisation rate remains stable. At 91.7% for three months, it is above its long-term average (88.6%). At the same time, 46% of business managers have reported production bottlenecks, as last month and far more than in the long-term average. In particular, for three months, slightly more than a quarter of business managers have declared production bottlenecks due to workforce shortage. This share remains largely above its long-term average.
