Job creation index¶
A job creation index is a measure of net hiring of full- and part-time adult workers.
Core Idea¶
Job creation index is treated here as the recurring labor-market indicators identity summarized by this source-grounded definition: A job creation index is a measure of net hiring of full- and part-time adult workers. A job creation index is a measure of net hiring of full- and part-time adult workers. In the US, the index score is derived by subtracting the percentage of American workers who say their employers are 'firing' from the percentage of workers who say their employers are 'hiring'.
Scope of Application¶
-
United States. The job creation index has been increasing since falling to -5 in February 2009 during the Great Recession.
-
United States. Rhode Island earned a spot at the bottom of the job creation index with a score of 12.
-
United States. In 2013, the average score in the U.S. was 20, up 2 points from 2012.
-
United States. The survey showed that northern states in the midwest are seeing a growth in jobs much more so than in other parts of the US.
-
United States. The results are based on telephone interviews from Gallup, which took place from January 2, 2013 - December 29, 2013.
Clarity¶
A clear use of Job creation index names the carrier, the operative relation, and the conditions under which the source treats the identity as present. The minimal definition is A job creation index is a measure of net hiring of full- and part-time adult workers.
Manages Complexity¶
Job creation index compresses multiple labor-market indicators details into a stable diagnostic relation. The source shows both the central mechanism—list of U.S. states and territories by unemployment rate.—and the practical consequence—in 2013, the average score in the U.S. was 20, up 2 points from 2012. This compression makes cases comparable while leaving parameters, conventions, exceptions, and evidential quality explicit.
Abstract Reasoning¶
- Type the carrier. Identify the labor-market indicators entities to which the claim applies.
- State the relation. Use the source-grounded identity: A job creation index is a measure of net hiring of full- and part-time adult workers.
- Check operation and conditions. In the US, the index score is derived by subtracting the percentage of American workers who say their employers are 'firing' from the percentage of workers who say their employers are 'hiring'.
- Demand recognition evidence.
Knowledge Transfer¶
Within the home domain. Knowledge about Job creation index transfers literally when a new case preserves the same carrier type, relation, and recognition test. The job creation index has been increasing since falling to -5 in February 2009 during the Great Recession. Rhode Island earned a spot at the bottom of the job creation index with a score of 12. Beyond the home domain. Transfer the broader Measurement relation when the labor-market indicators-specific differentia cannot be filled. Retain the name Job creation index only when the same carrier, operation, and rejection conditions are present literally rather than metaphorically.

Neighborhood in Abstraction Space¶
Job creation index sits in a sparse region of the domain-specific corpus (83rd percentile for distinctiveness): few abstractions share its structure, so a faithful description tends to retrieve it precisely.
