February LINE
Mass layoffs and other cost-cutting measures have become the norm in early 2009, and that won't change in February for both the manufacturing and service sectors, according to the
Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM) Leading Indicators of National Employment (LINE) survey. Findings include:
" February hiring expectations are at four-year lows for the month. Compared with a year ago, hiring in manufacturing is down by more than two-thirds and by more than one-third in the service sector.
" Recruiting difficulty was virtually nonexistent in January. Among those in the market for top-level talent, very few members of the manufacturing and service sectors report having problems.
" Compensation growth is sluggish for new hires. Wages and benefits packages increased at a slower annual pace in the manufacturing and service sectors in January for the fourth consecutive month.
