All survey participants were asked: *“How do you anticipate total employment at your location to change in the three months to the end of June 2022 as compared to the current* quarter?”  Interviewing was carried out during the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey findings for the April to June 2022 period are likely to reflect the impact of the ongoing economic disruption in some countries.
