Buoyed by a growing economy, a majority of employers report in a new survey that they plan on adding jobs in 2018.
The survey of more than 4,000 professionals by LaSalle Network finds that 65 percent of employers plan on adding employees in 2018, up from 50 percent who said the same in 2017.
With unemployment at its lowest point in years, 70 percent of managers identify finding job applicants with the necessary skills at a top hiring challenge, while roughly half also say that finding workers who fit with the workplace culture is also a major hiring hurdle.
