Hiring in Media and Entertainment has been fluctuating: it was at 808 in June 2013, increased to 948 in July, and declined to 821 in August. This might include the Internet industry, since, ironic as it is, the Naukri Jobspeak Index does not separately cover the Internet industry. Hiring in advertising grew 0.89% to 1241 from 1230.
