For Job Seekers:

• High Index = High Bargaining Power. If the index is spiking in your sector, you can demand a 40-50% salary hike to switch.
• Low Index = Stay Put. If the index is low (e.g., 5% in manufacturing), switching is risky. Industries with low indexes are often unionized or in recession.
