(Milwaukee Journal) -U.S. employers are predicting they will end 2015 with their strongest hiring in eight years, according to the latest quarterly survey of employer confidence by ManpowerGroup Inc.At the same time, Chinese companies' hiring plans, while still positive, dipped to their weakest level in more than six years, according to global staffing company's research and analysis of its poll of hiring expectations. Manpower queried 59,000 employers in 42 countries and territories between July 7 and 17, several weeks before the markets began reacting in mid-August to perceived problems in the Chinese economy.
Of the more than 11,000 U.S. employers surveyed, 21% expect to hire new staff in the fourth quarter, while 6% expect workforce reductions, resulting in what the survey calls a "net employment outlook" of 18%, after adjusting for recurring seasonal factors.
