Measuring online job demand in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, the Index registered lower levels of online job availability in all the countries except Germany. As a result of these mixed findings, the Index remained unchanged overall in August at 109 points, ending an upward growth trend since January 2005.
