In U.S, according to a widely-watched employment outlook survey, the employers anticipate a modest increase in hiring plans for the first three months of 2010. Polling more than 28,000 U.S. employers, Manpower, Inc. one of the largest U.S. employment services found 12 percent expect to add jobs during the first quarter of 2010, while 12 percent anticipate job cuts. Manpower said the result would produce a six percent gain. It called the expected increase over fourth quarter figures unusual and said it indicates higher confidence levels from employers. The survey comes on the heels of a U.S. Department of Labor report released last Friday showing an unexpected decline in unemployment from 10.2 percent to 10.0 percent.
