Delta and Richmond area employers are expecting a steady hiring climate for the second quarter of 2014, according to the latest employment outlook survey from Manpower.
"Survey data reveals that 17 per cent of employers plan to hire for the upcoming quarter (April to June), while none anticipate cutbacks," said Jeff Polkinghorne of Manpower's Vancouver office.
Another 80 per cent of employers plan to maintain current staffing levels in the upcoming quarter, while three per cent are unsure.
With seasonal variations removed, the area's 16 per cent net employment outlook is a 10 per cent increase over last quarter's forecast.
"It is a three percentage point decrease compared to the outlook reported during the same time last year, but still indicates a respectable hiring pace for the upcoming months," Polkinghorne said.
