The NYSIA Index computation adds each response value, with
"Not Important" counted as 0, "Somewhat Important" counted as 1, and "Very
Important" counted as 2. The sum is then divided by the number of people who
responded to each question. A higher index indicates the technology is more
in demand.
For the Hiring Status indices,
an answer of "Laying Off" counts as -1,
"Stable" as 0, and "Hiring" as 1. These
are added, and the sum is then divided
by the number of respondents. A value
above 0 indicates more companies are hiring
than firing for that employment category.
