CHICAGO-A job forecast survey released by CareerBuilder in conjunction with USA Today reported that 28 percent of employers hired full-time, permanent employees during Q1 2011. This figure is the highest since Q1 2008, and the hiring momentum is anticipated to continue during the second quarter of 2011.
In a previous survey CareerBuilder/USA TODAY survey conducted in December 2010, 23 percent of employers expected to hire full-time, permanent employees during Q1 2011. The actual amount of 28 percent marks seven consecutive quarters in which actual hiring practices exceeded projections.
Though 10 percent of those polled said they decreased their headcounts during the first quarter, this was an improvement over the 12 percent decrease from the first quarter of 2010. Sixty-two percent said there was no change in their number of full-time, permanent employees.
