Manpower Employment Outlook

Manpower Employment Outlook: The pace of new jobs added over the summer months will slow both compared to the previous quarter and last year, says the Manpower Employment Outlook released Tuesday, according to Huffington Post. The survey found a net difference of nine per cent between employers planning to hire and those planning to fire, using Manpowers seasonally-adjusted metric, down from 12 percentage points from the survey in the same quarter last year. The numbers are seasonally adjusted, and so don't correspond to the percentages above and Job seekers should shed any illusions they have that the near-record number of jobs added in May means that the countrys labour market is suddenly booming, according to a new employment forecast. Manpowers survey of more than 1,900 Canadian employers found that 21 per cent plan to increase their payrolls in the third quarter, down from 23 per cent in the same period of 2012, when the job market was slow. Six per cent of employers plan to cut positions. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
