Gallup released an infographic that describes what they have found should be important economic markers for leaders throughout the globe. One is the **Payroll to population employment** rate and the other is the **thriving** rate. Gallup's [Payroll to Population](http://www.gallup.com/poll/158495/payroll-population-rate-october.aspx?ref=ivn.us) rate is calculated as a percentage of the US adult population (18+) that is employed at least 30 hours per week (for one employer). The rate, or P2P for short, is not seasonally adjusted. Gallup [defines](http://www.gallup.com/poll/155462/Women-Men-Worldwide-Equally-Likely-Thriving.aspx?ref=ivn.us) the thriving rate by asking respondents how they rate their current and future lives on a 0 to 10 scale, based on the [Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale](http://www.gallup.com/poll/122453/Understanding-Gallup-Uses-Cantril-Scale.aspx?ref=ivn.us), Gallup.
