After months of falling, the Digital Pulse showed a very slight increase (1.02%) in confidence across the digital industry in November. To borrow a phrase from the stock-market, this could be a dead-cat bounce whilst companies furiously tried to close businesss before the onset of December and the Christmas break. Outlook in current market conditions held ground between October and November with no change, and future expectations falling only slightly. The main area of concern in November reflects the concerns of the digital recruitment market, with confidence in employment opportunities taking the biggest dip, a fall of 7.94%.
