While hiring managers across the nation are predicting an upsurge of jobs this summer, other metropolitan areas anticipate a downslide, according to a report released today by Forbes in partnership with Manpower.
ManpowerGroup surveyed more than 18,000 employers in 100 metropolitan areas to find out who’s hiring, who’s letting people go, and who plans to maintain their current staff levels in the third quarter of 2011, July through September.
Of the surveyed employers, 20% anticipate an increase in staffing levels in their second quarter hiring plans, while 8% expect a decrease in payrolls.
Forbes used the data to come up with its annual Best and Worst Cities for Summer jobs list.
The cities that promise few jobs include:
1. Bradenton-Sarasota-Venice, Fla.
2. Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio-Pa.
3. Raleigh-Cary, NC.
4. Las Vegas-Paradise, NV.
5. (tie) Santa Rosa-Petaluma, Calif
6. (tie) Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich.
7. (tie) Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla.
8.. (tie) Lakeland-Winter haven, Fla.
9. (tie) Bakersfield, Calif.
10. Tucson, AZ.
Other cities are faring much better, including the Grand Rapids-Wyoming market. According to Manpower, the Grand Rapids-Wyoming region has a 24% net employment outlook, the percentage of employers that expect to add employees (30%) minus the percentage that expect to reduce their workforce (6%). Another 61% said they anticipate no change, and 3% didn’t know.
