Expectations in the Wholesale & Retail Trade sector have increased by seven percentage points compared to the same period a year ago, while employers in the Finance, Insurance & Real Estate sector report an increase of four percentage points.
Twenty-three percent of the state's employers interviewed plan to hire workers, and 4 percent expect to reduce their payrolls. "This is more than likely leading to the planned uptake in hiring in the province, as employment opportunities are being created through the provision of goods and services for alternative water supplies and saving", explains Van den Barselaar.
The manufacturing sector and the service sector was second, with a net hiring outlook of 28 percent, ManpowerGroup said, saying that most job openings in the manufacturing sector will be seen in central Taiwan, while the gaming industry in the service sector is expected to expand its workforce.
