Canadian employers expect steady, yet moderating, hiring in Q1 2024, according to First ManpowerGroup’s Employment Outlook Survey for 2024.
The survey of over 1,000 employers reveals that 41% intend to increase their staffing levels in the first quarter of 2023, while 16% anticipate cutbacks, resulting in a net employment outlook of +25%. This is down 2% from Q4 2023 and -8% year-over-year.
“Even though the Net Employment Outlook has decreased 2% since last quarter and -8% year-over-year, hiring expectations remain positive for all regions and all industries. The net employment of +25% closely aligns with the global average (+26%),” said to Darlene Minatel, Country Manager, ManpowerGroup Canada.
