According to a new report released by Manpower, a leader in staffing, Atlanta jobs will be plentiful throughout 2010. That’s great news for Georgia residents who have been plagued by job losses since the recession.

The Employment Outlook Survey states that Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, GA area employers expect to hire at a steady pace during the third quarter of 2010.

What’s more, from July to September, 16% of the companies interviewed plan to hire more employees, while 8% expect to reduce their payrolls. Another 69% expect to maintain their current staff levels and 7% are not certain of their hiring plans. This yields a Net Employment Outlook* of 8%.

Here are the salient points from the survey:

For the coming quarter, job prospects appear best in Durable Goods Manufacturing, Nondurable Goods Manufacturing, Wholesale & Retail Trade, Professional & Business Services, Education & Health Services, Leisure & Hospitality and Other Services. Employers in Construction, Information, Financial Activities and Government plan to reduce staffing levels, while hiring in Transportation & Utilities is expected to remain unchanged.

Of the 18,000 U.S. employers surveyed, 18% expect to increase their staff levels during the third quarter, while 8% expect to reduce their payrolls, resulting in a Net Employment Outlook of 10%. When seasonally adjusted, the Net Employment Outlook becomes +6%. Seventy percent expect no change in hiring, and 4% are undecided about their Quarter 3 2010 hiring plans.

The next Manpower Employment Outlook Survey will be released on September 7, 2010 to report hiring expectations for Quarter 4 2010.
