More than 11,000 interviews have been conducted with employers within the United States, including all 50 states, the top 100 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, to measure hiring intentions between April and June 2016. The mix of industries within the survey follows the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) supersectors and is structured to be representative of the U.S. economy. All participants were asked, “How do you anticipate total employment at your location to change in the three months to the end of June 2016 compared to the current quarter?”

More than one in five U.S. employers surveyed – 22 percent – expect payrolls to grow in Quarter 2 2016, while 4 percent anticipate a decline in staff levels. Seventy-two percent of employers do not expect employment levels to change, and the remaining 2 percent are unsure about hiring prospects for the coming quarter.

Once the survey data is adjusted to allow for seasonal variation, the Net Employment Outlook is +16%. Hiring plans remain relatively stable compared to Quarter 1 2016 and employers report no change compared to one year ago at this time.

Net Employment Outlooks are unchanged in two of the four U.S. regions surveyed when compared with Quarter 1 2016. A decline of 2 percent is reported in the West and the Outlook for the Northeast is 1 percent weaker than in Quarter 1 2016.

When seasonal variations are removed from the data, the strongest hiring prospects for Quarter 2 2016 are reported by employers surveyed in the Midwest and the South with Outlooks of +17%. Employers in the West report an Outlook of +16%, and the Northeast Outlook stands at +15%.

Quarter over quarter, employers in the Midwest, South and Northeast expect hiring to remain relatively stable, while employers in the West anticipate a slight decrease in hiring. Compared to one year ago at this time, employers in the West report a slightly weaker Outlook, while employers in the Northeast, Midwest and South anticipate a relatively stable hiring pace.

Please note that throughout this report, the figure used in all graphs is the “Net Employment Outlook.” This figure is derived by taking the percentage of employers anticipating an increase in hiring activity and subtracting from this the percentage of employers that expect to see a decrease in employment at their location in the next quarter. In addition, percentage totals may not equal 100% due to rounding.

ManpowerGroup interviewed over 58,000 employers across 42 countries and territories to forecast labor market activity* in Quarter 2 2016. All participants were asked, “How do you anticipate total employment at your location to change in the three months to the end of June 2016 as compared to the current quarter?”

ManpowerGroup’s second-quarter research reveals that job gains are expected in 39 of 42 countries and territories during the April-June time frame. However, despite little indication of labor market contraction, hiring intentions in most countries and territories continue to remain modest. In fact, some key labor markets, such as Germany, France and Italy, are clearly struggling to gain traction amid the current economic uncertainty. Faced with the slowdown in China and ongoing turmoil in commodity markets, most employers across the globe appear to be taking the measured approach of adding staff only when needed.

Despite some anticipated job gains, actual job growth is expected to slow by varying degrees with employers in a slim majority of countries and territories scaling back their hiring plans in both quarter over quarter and year over year comparisons. Hiring plans strengthen in only eight of 42 countries and territories when compared with the first three months of 2016 and weaken in 22. Outlooks improve in 12 countries and territories when compared with Quarter 2 2015 but decline in 23. Second-quarter hiring confidence is strongest in India, Japan, Taiwan, Colombia and Guatemala, while the weakest hiring prospects are reported in Brazil, France and Italy.

Across the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region, workforce gains are forecast in 22 of 24 countries. Hiring plans improve in five countries quarter over quarter but weaken in 11. In a year over year comparison, job gains are expected to improve in six countries and decline in 13. For the first time in the EMEA region, employers in Bulgaria report the most optimistic hiring intentions. Conversely, French employers report the weakest hiring plans, as well as the only negative forecast in EMEA.

Staffing levels are expected to grow in all eight Asia Pacific countries and territories during the April-June time frame. However, second-quarter forecasts weaken in seven countries and territories when compared with the first three months of the year. Similarly, hiring plans decline by varying margins in seven countries and territories in a year over year comparison and strengthen only in Japan. For the third consecutive quarter, employers in India report the most optimistic regional and global hiring plans, while the region’s weakest hiring intentions are reported by Australian employers.

Employers in nine of 10 countries in the Americas region expect some workforce gains in the upcoming quarter. Outlooks improve in three countries and decline in four in a quarter over quarter comparison. Year over year, hiring prospects are stronger in five countries and decline in only three. Employers in Colombia, Guatemala and the United States report the region’s most optimistic second-quarter hiring plans, while for the fifth consecutive quarter employers in Brazil report an overall decline in payrolls as well as the weakest hiring plans in the region and across the globe.

The next Manpower Employment Outlook Survey will be released on 14 June 2016 and will detail expected labor market activity for the third quarter of 2016.

The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey is conducted quarterly to measure employers’ intentions to increase or decrease the number of employees in their workforces during the next quarter. ManpowerGroup’s comprehensive forecast of employer hiring plans has been running for more than 50 years and is one of the most trusted surveys of employment activity in the world. Various factors underpin the success of the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey:

Unique: It is unparalleled in its size, scope, longevity and area of focus.

Projective: The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey is the most extensive, forward-looking employment survey in the world, asking employers to forecast employment over the next quarter. In contrast, other surveys and studies focus on retrospective data to report on what occurred in the past.

Independent: The survey is conducted with a representative sample of employers from throughout the countries and territories in which it is conducted. The survey participants are not derived from ManpowerGroup’s customer base.

Robust: The survey is based on interviews with over 58,000 public and private employers across 42 countries and territories to measure anticipated employment trends each quarter. This sample allows for analysis to be performed across specific sectors and regions to provide more detailed information.

Focused: For more than five decades the survey has derived all of its information from a single question:

For the Quarter 2 2016 research, all employers participating in the survey worldwide are asked the same question, “How do you anticipate total employment at your location to change in the three months to the end of June 2016 as compared to the current quarter?”

MethodologyThe Manpower Employment Outlook Survey is conducted using a validated methodology, in accordance with the highest standards in market research. The survey has been structured to be representative of each national economy. The margin of error for all national, regional and global data is not greater than +/- 3.9%.

AbouttheSurveyNet Employment OutlookThroughout this report, we use the term “Net Employment Outlook.” This figure is derived by taking the percentage of employers anticipating an increase in hiring activity and subtracting from this the percentage of employers expecting to see a decrease in employment at their location in the next quarter. The result of this calculation is the Net Employment Outlook. Net Employment Outlooks for countries and territories that have accumulated at least 17 quarters of data are reported in a seasonally adjusted format unless otherwise stated.

Seasonal adjustments have been applied to the data for all participating countries except Finland. ManpowerGroup intends to add seasonal adjustments to the data for other countries in the future, as more historical data is compiled. Note that in Quarter 2 2008, ManpowerGroup adopted the TRAMO-SEATS method of seasonal adjustment for data.
