Good news for the U.S. economy – and for employees and job-seekers. The latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey shows that the Net Employment Outlook for Q4 2012 is +11%, which is unchanged from Q3 2012 and slightly elevated from +8% during the same period last year. The survey found that hiring intentions continue to climb with employers in 49 out of 50 states reporting positive hiring intentions. Similarly, employers in 99 out of the 100 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas report positive hiring intentions to close out the year. Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup president of the Americas stated, “Once again, the data is showing stability and continued, moderate growth. In fact, Quarter 4 2012 is the strongest Quarter 4 Outlook since 2007. Even among the industries, steady progression is a trend. Education & Health Services, in particular, is stronger this quarter than it has been in the last three years.”
