Scorelogix® Job Security Index™ ― a measure of US workers’ job security and unemployment risk, decreased by 0.8 percent in March, marking the fourth month in a row that job security has fallen. The decline in job security in March also marks the sixth time in thirteen months that job security has fallen. Such a decline suggests that American jobs have become less secure in the past month.

More than eighty percent of all Occupational categories tracked by Scorelogix® recorded negative growth. Job Security Index™ fell most significantly for jobs related to Farming, Fishing and Forestry along with Construction and Extraction continuing the downward trend from January 2008.

The spread between the states with the highest and the lowest job security rose from 94.3 in February to 95.2 in March. Hawaii and Michigan are the states with the highest and lowest levels of job security, respectively as was the case in February 2008.

The Job Security Index represents how national economy, global economic factors, technology, international competition, outsourcing, etc, impact the demand and supply of jobs, layoffs and job security.

Scorelogix’s patent-pending Job Security Score provides new consumer credit risk insights by predicting individuals’ job-loss and income-loss risk and therefore promises to reduce losses for financial institutions

Financial institutions incur credit losses partly because of their inability to predict borrowers’ unemployment risk. Scorelogix’s patent-pending Job Security Score (JSS) promises to lower these losses by predicting borrowers’ unemployment risk and their ‘ability-to-pay’ risk, which has been the missing component of consumer credit risk until now.

JSS is similar to a credit bureau score but unlike the credit score which predicts ‘willingness-to-pay’ based on credit history, JSS predicts the ‘ability-to-pay’ based on future income risk. JSS predicts this ‘ability-to-pay’ risk by finding patterns and relationships between the economy, business conditions, and individual demographic and employment indicators to predict an individual’s unemployment risk.

Since job loss is a key driver of consumer bankruptcies and delinquencies, JSS has significant applications as a consumer credit risk predictor, both as a complementary credit score and as a primary credit score when conventional credit scores are not available or are unreliable.

JSS allows lenders to have the most accurate consumer risk assessment model in place. JSS, when combined with credit bureau scores, improves predictive power by redistributing the population such that lenders can further identify good and bad accounts, increases approvals without increasing loss risk, and identifies a larger number of delinquent accounts earlier.

JSS differentiates itself as a leading indicator of credit risk, unlike credit bureau scores which are lagging indicators, and offers new credit risk separation opportunities leading to superior acquisition, pricing, and delinquency and loss management capabilities. Test results have proved that JSS is over 85% accurate in predicting unemployment risk up to twelve months in advance.

JSS is ECOA compliant, does not require consumer’s SSN or any personally identifiable data, is available for the entire 215 million adult U.S. population, and is updated monthly, reflecting the latest economic conditions that impact jobs and income.
