U.S. employers
expect to add new jobs in 2012, but many are waiting to see how the
economy shapes up before turning up the volume on hiring, according to
CareerBuilder's annual job forecast.
The job posting site
said nearly one in four hiring managers plan to hire full-time,
permanent employees in 2012.
The nationwide survey,
conducted by Harris Interactive, included more than 3,000 hiring
managers and human resource professionals nationwide.
"Historically, our
surveys have shown that employers are more conservative in their
predictions than actual hiring," said Matt Ferguson, CEO of
CareerBuilder. "Barring any major economic upsets, we expect 2012 to
bring
a better hiring picture than 2011, especially in the second half of the
year.
"Many companies have
been operating lean and have already pushed productivity limits. We're
likely to see gradual improvements in hiring across categories as
companies respond to increased market demands."
