“Stronger employer hiring intentions in most regions is certainly cause for optimism, though global growth is still below pre-recession levels," said Jonas Prising, chairman & CEO of ManpowerGroup, in commentary on a new, third-quarter global hiring study released by ManpowerGroup. “The political uncertainty in Europe and the United States means employers are hesitant to significantly add to their workforce, but they do continue to hire at modest levels, and many are still experiencing difficulty finding in-demand skills. Meanwhile, the economic slowdown in China still casts a shadow over its trading partners and an otherwise mostly stable economic situation.”
