Despite "fiscal cliff" concerns, a growing number of Greater Boston employers expect to boost hiring during the first quarter of next year, according to the latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey.
Eighteen percent of Hub companies plan to hire more workers from January to March, while only 4 percent expect to reduce staff.
That's an improvement from the fourth quarter when only 13 percent of companies said they planned to hire more workers while 7 percent said they would reduce their employee count.
The most reliable sectors for employment are durable goods manufacturing; wholesale and retail trade; information; financial activities; education and health services; leisure and hospitality; and other services and government. Employers in professional and business services plan to reduce staffing levels, according to the survey by Milwaukee-based Manpower Group.
Nationally, 17 percent expect to add to their workforce; 8 percent expect to cut their payrolls during the first quarter of 2013; 72 percent anticipate making no change to staff levels; and the remaining 3 percent are undecided.
The survey's results are based on interviews with 18,000 employers in the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
The data also does not reflect Hurricane Sandy's impact on anticipated hiring decisions as the survey was conducted prior to the storm, Manpower Group said.
The states with the best job outlook for the first quarter of next year are North Dakota, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Delaware, Nebraska and Texas. Those with the worst outlook were Maine, Kansas, West Virginia, Missouri, Oregon and Nevada, according to the survey.
