Hiring 2025 . Hiring 2024

 From today's WSJ:

Nearly 2/3 of U.S. employers plan to add permanent roles in the next six months, according to a new survey by staffing and consulting firm Robert Half. Barely half of companies said the same midway through 2024.

“We heard from many employers last year that said they were holding off hiring until the election,” says Brandi Britton, an executive director in Robert Half’s finance and accounting practice. “They didn’t necessarily have an opinion which way the vote should go, or if they did they didn’t say, but it was more about wanting clarity before making some additions.”
