According to the latest ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey, Richmond-Delta area employers expect a steady hiring climate for the second quarter of 2021.
“Survey data reveals that 23 per cent of employers plan to hire for the upcoming quarter, while five per cent anticipate cutbacks,” says Richard Plumb of Manpower’s Vancouver office. “The remaining 72 per cent of employers plan to maintain their current staffing levels in the upcoming quarter.”
“With seasonal variations removed from the data, Richmond-Delta’s second quarter Net Employment Outlook of +14 per cent is a one-percentage point increase when compared to the previous quarterly Outlook,” said Plumb. “It’s also a two-percentage point decrease as the Outlook reported during the same time last year, indicating a respectable hiring pace for the upcoming months.”
“An ongoing moderate hiring Outlook for employers in the second quarter of 2021, in light of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, can be interpreted as a positive trajectory,” said Darlene Minatel, country manager of ManpowerGroup Canada. “With all 10 industry sectors expecting to hire in the upcoming quarter, there will be opportunities for job seekers. All four regions of the country have positive employment Outlooks for the second quarter of 2021 but job seekers in Atlantic Canada have the greatest challenge with a limited employment Outlook (+3 per cent) anticipated. With widespread COVID-19 vaccination on the horizon, employers appear to be cautiously optimistic and open to flexibility in consideration of the post-pandemic chapter for business.”
