Job outlock EMPLOYERS IN the Vancouver area are anticipating very strong hiring levels for the coming summer months, according to the Employment Outlook Survey released Tuesday by Manpower Temporary Services, the world’s largest employment service. **Manpower’s third quarter 1990 survey of local employers shows that 47 per cent expect to increase staff during the July, August, September period, and only six per cent plan reductions,’’ said Don Cor- mack, general manager of Manpower’s Vancouver office. He added that another 44 per cent of employers foresee no changes and the remaining three per cent are uncertain about their summer employment needs. One year ago the employment outlcok was strong, with 52 per cent of the employers surveyed projecting staff increases and none anticipating reductions. Locally, the most promising job prospects are seen in construction, durable and non-durable goods manufacturing, wholesale/retail trade, finance/ looks bright insurance, real estate and public administration. The national! outlook indicates a rebound from the situation of three months ago, when the drop in employment plans exceeded seasonal expectations. For the coming quarter, 33 per cent of the more than 1,500 employers surveyed predicted job open- ings, while 10 per cent anticipate cutbacks. These pro- jections, though not as optimistic as last year’s, are much closer to historical third quarter patterns. Among the industries, construction continued the dominance shown last quarter and last year. As was the case in 1989, transportation and public uiilities and wholesale and retail trade closely follow- ed. “The summer season always brings construction companies into the marketplace for many additional employees,’’ Cormack said. ‘‘This year, 46 per cent indicate they are adding workers and seven per cent are cutting down. Rarely has this outlook been sur- passed.’” Trade Development Corp. said the trade mission, in part, is designed to “tap the huge potential for trade that lies just to the north of us.”* He added that the trade mission is part of B.C. Trade’s New Ex- porters to Border States program. Jointly sponsored by B.C. Trade and the Department of Industry, | Science and Technology Canada, the mission will visit Ketchikan, Juneau and Anchorage. Chambers of conmerce in each city have organized individual programs for each company, which include Western Pacific Doorland, Neptune Dynamics, AJA Tan and Sak Industries, all from the Lower Mainland.
