Hiring slips below the average
The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey, for which 174 employers in the Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire areas were questioned, said the region reports a net employment outlook of +2 per cent for the second consecutive quarter.
The national net employment outlook of +6 per cent builds on the first quarter of 2013 when it was also +6 per cent. The outlook is calculated by subtracting those employers who plan to reduce staffing levels from those who plan to hire staff.
