The Robert Half Professional Employment Report projects a 3% increase in hiring for the third quarter. It's obviously not tremendous growth, but it is movement in the right direction.
Overall, a net 3% (6% increase, 3% decrease) of surveyed executives said they they plan to increase the number of full-time employees in professional occupations in the third quarter.
This is down slightly from the prior quarter's forecast but continues a trend of hiring outpacing staff reductions. Transportation and business services projected the most growth, while the legal field had the strongest hiring activity projections. New England was the regional leader.
