INLAND EMPIRE – The job outlook for the opening of 2012 is a little brighter.

Manpower’s Leanne Schultz says 13 percent of local employers plan to expand their payrolls.

“Eleven percent will decrease their payrolls. But, the majority of employers, 70 percent, say they will leave their staff levels unchanged.”

Manpower predicts staff levels will most likely be expanded the first quarter of next year in manufacturing, professional and information services, in the financial sector and in leisure and hospitality.

More cuts in construction, government and health services are predicted. (INT)
