STATE HIRING FORECAST IS MODERATE

A new hiring forecast for Wisconsin shows employers in the state will continue to add jobs, although at a moderate pace. The latest quarterly hiring survey by Milwaukee-based Manpower Incorporated shows 16-percent of employers surveyed plan to add workers in the next three months; 11-percent predict layoffs; and more than two-thirds expect no change in staffing levels. But there's a dark side to the Wisconsin figures. Manpower says when you take the two numbers -- 16 positive and 11 negative -- that makes for a 5 percent positive employment outlook. Company vice president Melanie Holmes says that's not as good as Manpower's third quarter outlook. But Holmes says job prospects are positive in all Wisconsin industries surveyed, and the hiring forecast for the Milwaukee area remains one of the best in the U.S.
