The Index was expanded to explore new topics related to job and career shifting and needs for reskilling and upskilling (Edelman, 2022). The Index provides a current snapshot of career optimism in the United States and the 20 largest metropolitan areas; the 20-minute online survey was distributed to the following: 5,000 United States (U.S.) nationally representative adults, age 18+ who either currently work or wish to be working. 500 U.S. employers who are influencers or play a critical role in hiring and workplace decisions within a range of departments, company sizes, and industries.

This has led to an increased need for human layer security — technology such as contextual machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), which can detect abnormal behavior to prevent breaches before they happen.
