The nl Hiring Index

A stock-index-style measure of nl hiring: a constant basket of 59 employers tracked over the last 25 days (since 2026-07-23), indexed to 100. Because the basket is fixed, it shows like-for-like momentum โ€” not companies newly added to coverage. The window lengthens as more history accrues.

Constant basket followed since the base date (base = 100), so it measures like-for-like hiring momentum. Sector sub-indices use each company's GICS sector; small baskets swing more. Younger markets show a shorter window until their history accrues.
