Manpower Employment Outlook Survey –
United States, Q3 2013

 

The forecast is in – U.S. employers share hiring plans for the second quarter

One of the most closely watched indicators of economic health is the pace of hiring, and U.S. employers and job seekers alike need to know what’s next when it comes to employment prospects. That’s why for more than 50 years, ManpowerGroup™ has surveyed employers about their hiring plans for the upcoming quarter, and that information is packaged for you in the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey — the only forward-looking survey of its kind, and unparalleled in size, scope, longevity and area of focus.

To develop one of the most trusted surveys of employment activity in the world, every quarter, we ask more than 18,000 hiring managers about their hiring plans. This helps us identify the strongest and weakest metropolitan areas, states and industries for hiring and job creation. We’re pleased to share the results of this research with you in a variety of useful formats, so you can get an advanced look into hiring plans for the Third quarter of 2013.
