According to the announcement, the BNP Paribas Cardif Labor Market Stability Index was 78 points in the first quarter of 2022, a three-point increase from the same period last year. 

Optimism has gradually risen from its low point in the early spring of two years ago, with 72% of workers not worried about losing their job within a year, the statement said. 

Some 42% of respondents said their household could survive up to three months if the primary earner lost their job, with 17% saying it could last less than a month and 23.5% saying it would last more than a year.
