The EuRA Index for Sep/Oct/Mar is at 106.2. This is the lowest EuRA Index we have had since March 2010. It is a shock. The EuRA Index has dropped by 10.6 points from the last results which is 9.1%.
It seems that we are facing a mix of political and economical unrest which is reflected in our industry as well. At the WERC Conference in Chicago the first comments I heard were that September had not been too good, the beginning of October had been worse than September and even worse than the same month last year. The figures from our research confirm exactly this. Those of you who had a weak September can at least be reassured that they are not alone. Lots of other providers experienced the same. This is not improving individual results, but it is a confirmation of the current trend of the industry.
In the last three months we have seen the EuRA Index falling from an all-time high to an alltime low. Hopefully this trend will come to an end in the very near future.
