Washington:
India has pulled ahead of China to take first place in the Forbes
list of best countries for new jobs next year, with a whopping 42
percent net hiring outlook for the first quarter of 2011.
China follows close behind at 40 percent, a 2 percent decrease
from last quarter. Taiwan comes in third, with a net employment
outlook of 37 percent, the US business magazine reported based on
latest global employment outlook survey by the staffing firm
Manpower.
The net hiring outlook is the number of employers surveyed who
expect to increase their employment rolls minus the percentage who
expect to decrease them.
"The results are striking, if not surprising," Forbes said
referring to "that unbelievable job growth" reflected in the
survey of 64,000 human resource directors and senior hiring
managers from public and private companies worldwide.
Brazil rates fourth on the tally of the nations with the greatest
optimism with a net hiring outlook is 36 percent, driven by a 7
percent gross domestic product growth rate, three times higher
than in the US.
Next in line after Brazil is Turkey, with a net hiring outlook of
27 percent followed by Singapore at 26 percent.
The countries rounding out the list include Peru, Costa Rica and
Argentina as well as Australia and Hong Kong.
"How does the US rate? Better than you might expect," Forbes said
noting it has a 9 percent net hiring outlook.
The survey shows that almost half, 47 percent of them, of
expectations for hiring in the first quarter of 2011 came from 10
countries in the Americas, 24 percent from eight countries in Asia
and the Pacific, and 29 percent from Europe, the Middle East and
Africa.
"This is very much a macro-economic look at new job creation," the
staffing firm's chairman and chief executive, Jeffrey Joerres, was
cited as saying.
