Waterloo Region Record
By Record staff
WATERLOO REGION — Waterloo Region employers are signalling a positive hiring climate in the second quarter of this year, according to the latest employment outlook survey from Manpower.
Twenty-three per cent of local employers who responded to the human resources consulting firm's survey said they plan to hire staff in the April to June period, while only two per cent anticipate cutbacks.
Removing seasonal variations results in a net employment outlook of 19 per cent. While that is down three percentage points from the previous quarterly outlook, it is a four percentage point increase from a year ago, "indicating a steady hiring pace for the coming months," Nikki Sharpley of Manpower's Kitchener office said in a news release.
Nationally, the net employment outlook is 10 per cent, unchanged from the previous quarter.
