Manpower sees global hiring slow, Q2

The index (released March 10) measures the difference between employers who plan to add jobs and those who plan to cut them. Manpower's international survey of 72,000 employers found 23 out of 33 countries and territories reporting their weakest hiring plans since the poll was established there. Asia showed some of the weakest prospects as demand for exports weakened. Employers in India are more optimistic than three months ago, possibly reflecting the offshoring of some service jobs.
