Recruitment giant Manpower survey 40,000 employers on their first quarter hiring intentions in 2024. The update is not barnstorming but it is upbeat as 42% expect increasing in hiring vs 16% decrease and 39% no change compared to Q4 2023. Some very interesting regional / sectoral variations - all caveats apply on sample bias etc - but well worth taking a look at least on the sentiment of surveyed employers.
