Are we nearing a rebound in hiring? If the anecdotal evidence is any indication, we certainly are. According to Manpower's quarterly Employment Outlook Survey, hiring in almost every sector is about to get better.

The staffing company's assessment, which surveys employers in thirteen industries, found that twelve of the thirteen have net positive employment outlooks for the second quarter of this year. Even in the lone sector with a net negative outlook -- government -- 10 percent of employers said they expected to hire more people next quarter.

Here's Manpower:

Of the more than 18,000 employers surveyed across the nation, 16% anticipate an increase in staff levels during Quarter 2 2010, while 8% expect a decrease in payrolls, resulting in a Net Employment Outlook of +8%. When seasonally adjusted, the Net Employment Outlook becomes +5%...

Keep in mind that Manpower's survey examines expectations only, and does not measure companies that are actually hiring now.But some industries are undoubtedly ramping up for growth. Check out the industries with the most promising employment outlooks below:

Education, Health Services, Manufacturing? Okay, where I'm at, schools are closing down, hospitals are laying off, and there is no industry left.

Maybe Mcdonalds or Walmart.

leeman, where you are from does not represent overall trends that happens in other areas. You are probably from an area or some hicktown that has a poor performig school that probably needs to be closed down and your staff infected hospital probably should have been sanctioned log ago.

They forgot SWAT teams and census workers.

I note (as would others) that almost none of the jobs mentioned are in exportable industries and most don't pay enough to put people in the middle class.

And again, there's nobody I know in the Education field that sees an uptick in hiring. Most states are flat on their back and are threatening teaching jobs--even teachers with tenure are on the block.

Certified tattoo artist with a MCSE can probably make a killing about now.

yeah, but it's a bEYATCH when you have to go back every three years and have your tattoo redone to be compatible with their new OS.

I don't know where they pulled up education. Ten applications for one job. Health care big demand, but they're laying off teachers.

Hospitals are laying off. Many have hiring freezes...and there have been across the board wage cuts, too.

The numbers seemed really low to me... 14% in this industry, 11% in that industry. That means that 86-89% thinks that they won't hire or will actually lose jobs. Doesn't seem like great news to me.

If Mr. Cornrows with a dress shirt, tie, and leather jacket could get a royalty for every time HP uses his image as the face of unemployment he could retire.

hiring or not, there will still be at least 10 applicants for every job. Corporate America's dream. Just make sure you have a college degree and are under 40. You might have half a chance.

Any other sector where jobs are not going to be added?

Good show .... another Hide & Hype!!

I don't know about the Health industry but I do know in Education K-12 the teachers will be fired or laid off come JUNE 2010 wait till you see the unemployment numbers than. Huff Po i don't know where or who did this survey but you should have done some due diligence because the Teachers and America's school system are going down the toilet. So anybody thinking wow I can get a job teaching think again, if your thinking wow my kid goes to a great school think again, if your thinking we can educate the next generation with a guarter of the funding and half of the teachers think again.

Hard to discern fact from misconception in the "'x%' think employment will rise, and 'y%' think it will decline" numbers.

I know that there is a school of thought out there - rampant among CEOs - that believes that anything they want is possible as long as they enforce their will. Such also often believe that the economy reflects how the media talks about conditions as much or more as the impact of the underlying economic drivers.

So they'll try to sound positive to achieve positive results. It is the same thing the talking heads on CNBC and Fox Business do; all rah-rah about the stock market in order to protect both the share price of their owning corporation and their own investments.

Unless they're talking about taxation and regulation, of course; since those are not in the interests of either themselves or the wheels in the E-suite, they go all gloom and doom about the impact those will have.

I didn't realize "other services" was a lucrative industry. Or that education and health care were one of the same for that matter.

Why didn't they just list 'businessy suit-wearin type stuff' as a field that's hiring.

Makes me laugh. If it can be done from a desk, it can be offshored.

Since nothing is being done to address the inequities created by artificial currency exchange rates and differing and even absent regulations country-to-country, the incentive still remains for the few to offshore such jobs.

I personally have to look at future employment predictions and include thinking around the likely lifetime of those new jobs given the increasing education levels of offshore workforces.

This recovery is a sucker play put on by the inside Wall Streeters to lull the small investors to reinvest in Wall Street fantasy. Soon disaster will strike again at the rotten core of American capitalism. And we will all appreciate the term Depression.

Easy way to tell if you're broker is lying to you, just watch his mouth closely. If his lips move, he's lying.
