Survey Shows Hiring By Local Firms Expected To Slow In The Fourth Quarter

The latest survey by the employment firm Manpower Incorporated shows 16 percent of central Ohio companies plan to hire more workers in the fourth quarter, while 3 percent plan to cut jobs.  

The 13-point spread is up three points from the same period in 2017 but down 10 points from the third-quarter. The state along with the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton and Youngstown posted stronger survey results than Columbus. Manpower says demand for workers in the region remains strong.
