Delta and Richmond area employers are expecting an optimistic hiring climate for the third quarter of 2013, according to a recent survey conducted by Manpower.
The results indicate that 30 per cent of employers plan to hire for the upcoming quarter (July to September). Seven per cent anticipate cutbacks while another 63 per cent plan to maintain current staffing levels.
"With seasonal variations removed from the data, Richmond-Delta's
third quarter net employment outlook of 23 per cent is a slight increase of five percentage points when compared to the previous quarterly outlook," said Jeff Polkinghorne of Manpower's Vancouver office.

Tim Hortons' Camp Day earlier this month raised a record amount for the Tim Horton Children's Foundation. On June 5, more than 4,000 Tim Hortons locations across Canada and the U.S. donated all proceeds from coffee sales to the foundation to help send more than 16,000 economically disadvantaged kids in Canada and the U.S. to a Tim Hortons Children's Camp.
In all, more than $11.5 million was raised this year.
"Breaking the cycle of poverty and helping economically disadvantaged children aspire for a brighter future is at the heart of Tim Horton Children's Foundation," said Dave Newnham, vice-president and executive director of the foundation.
"None of this would be possible without the support of our loyal guests and dedication of our Tim Hortons restaurant owners and team members."
