MILWAUKEE — A new Manpower survey shows the employment outlook in southeast Wisconsin is the “best in the nation;” and companies are more likely to hire in Milwaukee than anywhere else in the country.

Manpower asked over 18,000 U.S. companies whether they plan to add jobs over the next three months and Milwaukee was found to have the most optimistic employers.

According to the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey, from July to September, 31% of the companies in southeast Wisconsin interviewed said they plan to hire more employees, while just 2% expect to reduce staff.

Another 62% expect to maintain their current workforce levels, and 5% are not certain of their hiring plans.
