Hiring to rise in NYC


Big Apple employers are springing out of their pink-slip rut with the rosiest jobs forecast in a year. According to the NY Post report new hires by New York City companies will outpace firings nearly three to one in the second quarter, according to a new survey out yesterday.

Roughly 17 percent of the companies surveyed plan to boost staffs while just 6 percent will cut workers, according to ManpowerGroup. Three out of four plan no hires or firings.

Overall, companies here will post a net 11 percent gain in jobs in the April through June quarter, compared to just a 3 percent gain for the first quarter, the report said.

In the January-through-March quarter, layoffs were reported to jump 10 percent from the prior period, and the hiring pace fell to a 13 percent gain compared to the prior quarter’s 15 percent gain.
