Manpower: only 4% of firms plan to reduce employment in Q3

ManpowerGropup had carried out a survey which showed that Polish employers are "cautiously optimistic" about increasing employment within next three months, the ISBnews agency reported on Tuesday. Manpower surveyed 750 Polish firms from various sectors. As much as 13 percent of firms said they are planning to increase their employment, four percent of them are going to reduce the number of jobs in the third quarter. Nearly 80 percent of them do not take into consideration any changes regarding their employment. Iwona Janas, General Director at ManpowerGroup Poland said in a press release cited by the agency that a slight decline in demand in the labor market expected to take place in the third quarter, is due to "seasonality of the market and it would not give cause for concern."
