Global hiring predictions for 2013 depend upon country
U.S. steady, Germany resilient, China uncertain
While U.S. companies contend with a shortage of EHS professionals and of skilled laborers, a global look at current and expected hiring levels reveals a complex picture.
According to ManpowerGroup's first-quarter 2013 Manpower Employment Outlook Survey, the majority of employers in the global labor market are less confident about adding staff than they were at the start of 2012, suggesting a more difficult time ahead for job seekers in some countries.
In 29 of 42 countries and territories, the forecasts are “softer” compared to this time last year. Hiring intentions are down in 21 countries.
