MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A new employment outlook survey says the majority of U.S. employers expect no change in staffing levels in the second quarter.
Sixty-seven percent of nearly 32,000 employers surveyed by Manpower Inc. of Milwaukee expect to maintain their workforce in the upcoming quarter, 15 percent expect to increase staff and 14 percent expect to cut employers.
Manpower CEO Jeffrey Joerres says the results show that even in the difficult economic environment, employers are trying to maintain their "workforce infrastructure."
While employers may be trying to retain employees, it's the survey's worst showing since the 1982 recession.
