3 Manpower Employment Outlook Survey Norway Norway Employment Outlook The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey for the second quarter 2013 was conducted by interviewing a representative sample of 751 employers in Norway. All survey participants were asked, How do you anticipate total employment at your location to change in the three months to the end of June 2013 as compared to the current quarter? Throughout this report, we use the term Net Employment Outlook. This figure is derived by taking the percentage of employers anticipating total employment to increase and subtracting from this the percentage expecting to see a decrease in employment at their location in the next quarter. The result of this calculation is the Net Employment Outlook. Hiring intentions remain relatively stable quarter-overquarter but decline by 2 percentage points when compared with 2Q Once the data is adjusted to allow for seasonal variation, the Outlook also stands at +6%. Employers report no change in the Outlook quarter-over-quarter, but hiring plans are 3 percentage points weaker year-over-year. From this point forward, all data discussed in the commentary is seasonally adjusted, unless stated otherwise. Norwegian employers report encouraging signs for job seekers in 2Q While 8% of employers expect to increase staffing levels, 2% anticipate a decrease and 88% forecast no change, resulting in a Net Employment Outlook of +6%. 3

9 Manpower Employment Outlook Survey Global Global Employment Outlook ManpowerGroup interviewed over 66,000 hiring managers across 42 countries and territories to measure employer hiring expectations between April and June The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey is ManpowerGroup s quarterly index of employer hiring confidence. For the second-quarter research, all participants were asked, How do you anticipate total employment at your location to change in the three months to the end of June 2013 as compared to the current quarter? The latest research reveals uncertainty still weighs on employer confidence across the globe. Net Employment Outlooks are mixed and it appears many hiring managers continue to wait for clearer resolution to Europe s sovereign debt crisis as well as signs that the global economy is returning to firmer footing before labor markets are likely to achieve sustainable traction. Employers in more than three-quarters of the labor markets surveyed report positive second-quarter hiring plans. Hiring plans strengthen quarter-over-quarter in 21 countries and territories, but decline by varying degrees in 15. Additionally, employers in 25 countries and territories report weaker forecasts compared to this time last year. Worldwide, hiring expectations are strongest in Brazil, Taiwan, Turkey and India, and weakest in Italy, Spain, Greece and the Netherlands with Outlooks from Italy and Spain matching the weakest employer forecasts ever reported there. The research reveals that the least optimistic second-quarter forecasts prevail across the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region where employers in nine of 24 countries report negative second-quarter Net Employment Outlooks. However, the number of negative forecasts in the April-June time frame is a clear improvement from the prior quarter when negative hiring plans were reported in 13 countries. Employers remain cautiously optimistic in the United Kingdom where job seekers will likely continue benefitting from an encouraging hiring environment through the end of June. The labor market remains resilient in Norway as employers in all sectors add to their payrolls, encouraged by the strength of activity associated with the country s oil industry. Germany s Outlook also remains positive, but employer hiring plans are slightly more modest than they were in both the prior quarter and last year at this time. In the Asia Pacific region, employer hiring intentions are positive but mixed. The hiring pace is expected to remain strong in Taiwan, propelled by robust hiring activity in the Mining & Construction industry sector. And opportunities for job seekers in India are expected to remain solid with particularly bright prospects reported in the Transportation & Utilities sector where the Outlook improves by a considerable margin from the first three months of the year. Prospects for job seekers in mainland China are expected to remain favorable, while Japan s employers anticipate steady employment gains for the fifth consecutive quarter. Meanwhile, employer confidence in Australia has declined steadily for the last two years and the country s Net Employment Outlook now stands at its weakest level since Q Employers from all 10 countries in the Americas report positive secondquarter hiring plans. Job prospects are strongest in Brazil and Panama and weakest in Costa Rica and the United States. Mexico s Outlook remains upbeat and matches the strongest jobs forecast reported in the country since Q Meanwhile, employers in Canada and the United States continue to expect steady job growth in the next three months and Outlooks in both countries remain relatively stable in both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons. * Commentary is based on seasonally adjusted data where available. Survey Respondents by Region Research for the Quarter Manpower Employment Outlook Survey involved surveying 66,006 human resources directors and senior hiring managers from public and private organizations worldwide. 45% of respondents come from 10 countries in the Americas; 24% from eight countries and territories across Asia Pacific; and 31% from 24 countries in EMEA. 9

12 Manpower Employment Outlook Survey Global International Comparisons EMEA ManpowerGroup interviewed more than 20,000 employers across 24 countries in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region to gauge anticipated hiring activity in the April-June time frame of Hiring plans are positive in 14 of 24 countries with Outlooks improving or remaining relatively stable from three months ago in 18 labor markets. However, a year-over-year comparison indicates that broad uncertainty across the region continues to weigh on employer hiring confidence and the second-quarter hiring pace is expected to strengthen or remain relatively stable in only 11 of the countries surveyed. The strongest job prospects in the region are reported in Turkey, Israel and Romania and weakest in Italy, Spain and Greece. Employers in Turkey report the region s most optimistic hiring intentions with nearly four out of 10 employers planning to add to their payrolls in the next three months. The Outlook improves considerably from a relatively disappointing first-quarter forecast with considerable gains reported by employers in all industry sectors and all regions. Expected labor demand in Turkey is strongest in the Construction sector. In the United Kingdom employers continue to report their most optimistic forecasts in the last five years. As in the prior two quarters, opportunities for job seekers are expected to be strongest in the Finance & Business Services sector. The overall Outlook is also boosted by a surge in expectations among employers in the Transport, Storage & Communications sector. However, hiring plans in the Construction sector remain gloomy as employers continue to adjust to additional budget cuts for residential and infrastructure construction projects. Skills shortages in Norway continue to compel many employers to look abroad for the talent they need particularly engineers and support personnel for the oil sector, healthcare workers and teachers. The Outlook in Germany remains positive despite quarterover-quarter and year-over-year declines in most industry sectors and regions. Employers expect the hiring pace to remain steady in the Finance & Business Services sector, and job seekers in both the Construction and the Electricity, Gas & Water sectors can expect some opportunities in the months ahead. And while Greece s Net Employment Outlook remains negative, employers there report their most optimistic forecast since Q with Outlooks improving in a year-overyear comparison by considerable margins in most Greek industry sectors, including the country s Restaurants & Hotels sector where employers report their first positive Outlook in more than two years. Across Eastern Europe, Net Employment Outlooks are generally stronger in a quarter-over-quarter comparison. The sole exception is Poland where the Outlook declines for the third consecutive quarter following the least optimistic employer forecasts since Poland joined the survey in Q Austria Belgium 12

16 Manpower Employment Outlook Survey Global International Comparisons Americas Nearly 30,000 employers from 10 countries in North, Central and South America participated in the research to measure expected hiring activity in the second quarter of Employers in all countries report positive hiring expectations for the April-June time frame, and Outlooks improve or remain relatively stable in seven of 10 countries quarter-over-quarter. In a year-over-year comparison, job prospects decline or maintain relative stability in eight of 10 countries. Job prospects are strongest in Brazil, Panama and Peru. Opportunities for job seekers are expected to be weakest in Costa Rica and the United States, however hiring in both countries is expected to continue at a stable pace with U.S. job prospects boosted by a surge in demand in the Construction sector and by considerably stronger demand by employers in the Transportation & Public Utilities and the Non-Durable Manufacturing sectors. Brazil s employers have reversed the declines reported in the three prior quarters; the second-quarter hiring pace is expected to be brisk as organizations throughout the country continue preparations for next year s soccer World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. Hiring expectations in the Construction and the Finance, Insurance & Real Estate sectors climb sharply quarter-over-quarter, and job seekers can also expect to benefit from a prosperous hiring climate in the Services and the Transportation & Utilities sectors. Argentina s forecast climbs modestly for the second consecutive quarter, despite uncertainties arising from the government s efforts to curb inflation and stabilize currency. In Colombia, Outlooks are mostly weaker year-over-year, but a number of planned infrastructure projects are about to get underway and these projects are supporting optimism in the Services sector, as well as upbeat forecasts in the Construction and Transportation & Utilities sectors. In Mexico, the hiring environment is expected to remain decidedly upbeat, fueled by unprecedented confidence among employers in the Services and Commerce sectors combined with favorable hiring plans in each of the country s seven regions. Hiring plans among Canadian employers remain steady, highlighted by the strongest Outlook in the Transportation & Public Utilities sector since Q and continuing steady demand in the Construction sector. However, in response to ongoing talent shortages in healthcare, mining and advanced business services, the government is exploring ways to expedite the entry of foreign workers whose skills are in demand.

18 Manpower Employment Outlook Survey Global International Comparisons Asia Pacific ManpowerGroup interviewed over 16,000 employers to measure second-quarter hiring plans across eight countries and territories in the Asia Pacific region. Hiring expectations remain positive throughout the region with the strongest opportunities for job seekers reported by employers in Taiwan and India. For the fourth consecutive quarter, employers in Australia report the region s weakest hiring plans. In a quarter-over-quarter comparison the Outlooks are mixed with job prospects expected to improve in four of the eight countries and territories. However, when compared to this time last year, employers are decidedly more uncertain with Net Employment Outlooks declining or remaining relatively stable in seven of the eight countries and territories surveyed. Hiring plans in Taiwan are slightly weaker than they were in Q and last year at this time, but employers here are anticipating a brisk hiring pace in the next three months fueled by demand in the Mining & Construction sector where more than half of the employers surveyed said they planned to add to their payrolls in the second quarter. The research reveals bright prospects also await job seekers in the Services sector. Opportunities for job seekers are expected to improve slightly from the prior quarter in both India and China, but are unchanged in Japan. In India, employer confidence improves slightly for the second consecutive quarter following the lackluster forecasts of Q Outlooks improve in virtually every sector and region in a quarter-over-quarter comparison, but remain broadly weaker than last year at this time. Strong hiring plans are reported by employers throughout the country with the strongest opportunities expected to benefit job seekers in the Transportation & Utilities, Services, and the Wholesale & Retail Trade sectors. Employers in each of China s six surveyed industry sectors and nine regions expect the hiring pace to improve by varying degrees when compared to Q but report broadly similar hiring plans to last year at this time. The most active hiring environments are expected in the Services and the Wholesale & Retail Trade sectors. In Japan, meanwhile, job seekers can expect the busiest labor markets in the Services and the Transportation & Utilities sectors where Outlooks strengthen considerably year-over-year. Meanwhile, the Australian Outlook has been in a steady state of decline for the previous eight quarters and is now weaker than at any point since Q The decline is plainly evident in the Mining & Construction sector where opportunities for job seekers are considerably more modest than they have been over the last few years.

I Norge er 751 arbeidsgivere spurt. Dette antallet intervjuer gir en feilmargin for den norske del av undersøkelsen på +/- 3.6 %. Netto forventet bemanning I denne rapporten benytter vi utrykket netto forventet bemanning. Dette tallet er beregnet ved å ta prosenten av arbeidsgivere som forventer en økning i antall ansatte og trekke fra prosentandelen av arbeidsgivere som forventer en nedgang i antall ansatte i sin bedrift for neste kvartal. Resultatene sammenlignes både med forrige kvartal, omtalt som kvartalsvis, og med samme kvartal året før, omtalt som på årsbasis. Sesongjusteringer Sesongjusteringer er innarbeidet i tallene fra Argentina, Australia, Belgia, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Frankrike, Guatemala, Hellas, Hongkong, India, Irland, Italia, Japan, Kina, Mexico, Nederland, New Zealand, Norge, Peru, Polen, Romania, Singapore, Sør-Afrika, Spania, Sverige, Sveits, Storbritannia, Taiwan, Tsjekkia, Tyskland, USA og Østerrike for å gi større innsikt i undersøkelsestallene. Disse justeringene gjør det mulig å vurdere resultatene uten de ansettelsesfluktuasjoner som normalt oppstår på samme tid hvert år slik at vi får et tydeligere bilde av situasjonen over tid. ManpowerGroup ønsker å foreta disse justeringene for de øvrige landene etter hvert som flere historiske data er innsamlet.
