This compares to S3 percent anticipating increases and IS percent decreases one year ago. The finance-insurance-real estate education sectors turned in stable employment for the beginning of the year. The quarterly employment outlook survey is conducted as a public service by Manpower, Inc. Designed and ad­ ministered by Manpower's International Research department, the survey uses a statistically representative sample of6,000large public and similar survey of one year ago when 18 percent said they would increase hiring and 23 percent anticipated staff cutbacks. The other msjor drop is in the public administration sector with 18 percent in­ creasing hiring down from 30 percent a year ago, and IS percent anticipating staff lay­ offs which is more than double the 7 percent of one year ago. The sector showing the most positive increase from previous years is transportation and public utilities.

Another 17 percent of the construction employers interviewed say they will increase hiring levels while SO percent will keep a status quo and 2 percent don't know.
