Employment Outlook Surveys
U.S. employers are proceeding with caution when considering hiring for Quarter 1 2009, according to the results of the latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. Of the 31,800 employers surveyed, 16% anticipate an increase in their staff levels during Quarter 1 2009, while 13% expect a reduction in their payrolls, resulting in a Net Employment Outlook of 3%. Sixty-seven percent of employers surveyed expect no change and 5% are undecided about their January through March hiring plans.

In a break from the recent steady flow of negative economic news, staffing service Manpower Canada says its latest survey of employers points to a "hopeful" hiring outlook for early 2009.

The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey Of Global Hiring reveals that the pace of hiring is set to slow further in the first quarter of 2009 most notably in Singapore, India and Taiwan.

Year-over-year hiring forecasts are also weaker in 25 countries and territories; and employers in 21 countries and territories are reporting the weakest hiring plans since the survey was established there by Manpower.
