Wisconsin employers are being more cautious than those in other states when it comes to hiring new people this fall.
The latest survey from Milwaukee’s Manpower Incorporated shows 23 percent of Wisconsin firms plan to add workers during the final three months of the year, down from 29 percent in the current quarter. Manpower says eight percent of state companies plan layoffs this fall and 68 percent plan to maintain their current staffing levels.
Nationally, Manpower says hiring levels are at their highest since the Great Recession.
