Survey Results: Strong McHenry Employment Outlook Top Salesman Carl Neiss Observes 30 Years With Edison Employers anticipate hiring new workers in the McHenry area during the three months, July, August, September, according to a quarterly survey of McHnery employers con­ ducted by Manpower, the world s largest temporary help service Chuck Bartels, owner of Manpower's McHenry office, said, "Our survey shows the employment outlook here is optimistic in almost every area of activity The only category in which no hiring forecast was made is the construction in dustry Overall, 43 percent of the firms queried have plans to add employees to their payrolls over the coming three mon­ ths," Bartels said The most optimistic hiring forecast came from manufacturers of both durable and non-durable goods, and wholesale and retail merchants where about half of the em­ ployers plan to add workers to their payrolls Good forecasts also came from transportation com­ panies, financial institutions and educational organizations Nationally, employers predict strong hiring patterns for the next three months (July, August and September* with the employment outlook as positive as it has been at any time during the past two years. Especially positive hiring sentiments exist throughout the country for manufacturers in both the durable and non­ durable goods sectors and construction and finance- insurance-real estate sectors. A greater percentage of these employers expect to hire in the upcoming quarter versus a year ago The employment survey for the upcoming quarter shows more than a third (34 percent) of those interviewed nationally saying they wiii hire more workers, 57 percent an­ ticipating no change in em­ ployment levels, 6 percent cutting back on staff and 3 percent unsure of their hiring plans. The current forecast is as positive as that indicated by similar national surveys taken last quarter and at this time one year ago when both surveys showed one-third (33 percent) of those surveyed planned to increase their number of workers, 58 percent with no change in employment, 6 percent reducing staff size and 3 percent indicating they didn't know what direction hiring would take In California, the survey recorded major declines in hiring intentions for govern­ ment jobs following the passage of the Jarvis-Gann proposal (Proposition 13), which will cause an expected $7 billion decline in California municipality property tax revenues, should it survive court challenges In the public administration area, 48 percent of California employers sur­ veyed following the passage of Proposition 13 are projecting cutbacks while another 35 percent are uncertain about hiring conditions. While staff reductions are normally an­ ticipated in the public ad­ ministration sector because of summer trends, the percentage of California public employers who are uncertain or predict decreases is five times larger than the comparable national figures. The national figures show 10 percent of those sur­ veyed decreasing staff and 7 percent uncertain about hiring in the public administration sector Regionally, the South con­ tinues to lead all other regions of the country as it has for the past fifteen months, with proportionately more em­ ployers expecting to increase hiring during the next three months than was the case last quarter or one year ago * The West dipped slightly from last quarter but its hiring expectations still look better than those of the nation Trailing the national em­ ployment outlook are the Midwest, which is similar to one year ago at this time, and the Northeast, lagging behind all other regions as it did last quarter and at this time one and two years ago Nationally, the most positive hiring intentions are projected by durable and non-durable goods manufacturers and employers in the construction and finance-insurance-real estate categories. For both durable and non­ durable manufacturers, who represent about 24 percent of the non-agricultural U.S. work­ force, the employment outlook is more positive than was recorded by similar Manpower surveys taken last quarter and for the third quarter of 1977. Of the two manufacturing sectors, durable goods manufacturers turned in the most optimisitc employment plans with 36 percent of those interviewed forecasting hiring, 56 percent seeing no change, 6 percent expecting staff cutbacks and 2 percent not knowing what hiring plans will be Proportionately, more employers in the finance- insurance-real estate sector expect to. add workers this quarter thkn was recorded by similar surveys taken three months ago and at the same time one and two years ago. Seasonality affects public and private educational in­ stitutions, although the category is substantially down from a similar survey taken one year ago In contrast, seasonality has a positive effect on construction industry em­ ployers, where 51 percent of those surveyed expect further growth in employment levels. This is higher than in a similar survey taken at this time in 1977 and for the comparable 1976 period Two major categories, the services sector and wholesale and retail trades, both record positive hiring expectations Services employers show 33 percent will hire more workers, which is more positive than last quarter or one year ago The wholesale and retail trades dipped slightly in hiring con­ fidence levels from last quarter, but are higher than survey results of one year ago and equal to two years ago at this time. 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 of 6,000 large public and private employers, distributed among ten industry sectors and some 210 U S. cities The survey results reflect employment intentions for the next ninety days Some of these intentions may change as a result of unexpected economic conditions Manpower, Inc , is a major employer of office workers and semi-skilled and skilled workers in a wide variety of fields The firm has an annual work force of more than 600.000 employees through its^ more than 700 offices in 33 countries Of these, more than 500 offices are located in the U S GER ALD LAZALDE Gerald Lazalde, of 401 Kensington drive.
