Employment outlook remains positive for the rest of the year

Employment is forecast to grow steadily throughout the rest of 2012 according to the latest CIPD Labour Market Outlook report, released today.  Net employment intentions – the difference between the proportion of employers that intend to increase total staffing levels and those that intend to decrease total staffing levels – remain positive for the third quarter of 2012 at +7, compared to +5 during the previous 3 months. This is the third consecutive quarter of projected growth recorded by the CIPD’s Labour Market Outlook report, continuing the actual labour market trends recorded over the last six months.
