While 15% of employers forecast an increase in payrolls, 3% anticipate a decrease and 81% expect no change, resulting in a of +12%. Once the data is adjusted to allow for seasonal variation, the Outlook stands at +15%. Hiring prospects are 2 percentage points weaker when compared with the previous quarter, but remain relatively stable in comparison with this time one year ago. Throughout this report, we use the term Net Employment Outlook. This figure is derived by taking the percentage of employers anticipating total employment to increase and subtracting from this the percentage expecting to see a decrease in employment at their location in the next quarter. The result of this calculation is the Net Employment Outlook. From this point forward, all data discussed in the commentary is seasonally adjusted, unless stated otherwise. 2 ManpowerGroup Munkaerő-piaci Előrejelzés

16 About the ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey The ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey is conducted quarterly to measure employers intentions to increase or decrease the number of employees in their workforces during the next quarter. ManpowerGroup s comprehensive forecast of employer hiring plans has been running for more than 5 years and is one of the most trusted surveys of employment activity in the world. The question For the 1Q 219 research, all employers participating in the survey worldwide are asked the same question, How do you anticipate total employment at your location to change in the three months to the end of March 219 as compared to the current quarter? Various factors underpin the success of the ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey: Unique: It is unparalleled in its size, scope, longevity and area of focus. Projective: The ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey is the most extensive, forward-looking employment survey in the world, asking employers to forecast employment over the next quarter. In contrast, other surveys and studies focus on retrospective data to report on what occurred in the past. Independent: The survey is conducted with a representative sample of employers from throughout the countries and territories in which it is conducted. The survey participants are not derived from ManpowerGroup s customer base. Robust: The survey is based on interviews with over 6, public and private employers across 44 countries and territories to measure anticipated employment trends each quarter. This sample allows for analysis to be performed across specific sectors and regions to provide more detailed information. Focused: For more than five decades the survey has derived all of its information from a single question: Methodology The ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey is conducted using a validated methodology, in accordance with the highest standards in market research. The survey has been structured to be representative of each national economy. The margin of error for all national, regional and global data is not greater than +/- 3.9%. Throughout this report, we use the term Net Employment Outlook. This figure is derived by taking the percentage of employers anticipating an increase in hiring activity and subtracting from this the percentage of employers expecting to see a decrease in employment at their location in the next quarter. The result of this calculation is the Net Employment Outlook. s for countries and territories that have accumulated at least 17 quarters of data are reported in a seasonally adjusted format unless otherwise stated. Seasonal adjustment Seasonal adjustments have been applied to the data for all participating countries except Croatia and Portugal. ManpowerGroup intends to add seasonal adjustments to the data for other countries in the future, as more historical data is compiled. Note that in Quarter 2 28, ManpowerGroup adopted the TRAMO-SEATS method of seasonal adjustment for data. ManpowerGroup Munkaerő-piaci Előrejelzés 15
