ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Q2 2022 Survey

For employers and employees to get the forward-looking perspective on hiring in your area.

ManpowerGroup surveyed a total of 1,000 employers across all states and territories in Australia to measure employer hiring intentions for the second quarter of 2022. All survey participants were asked: “How do you anticipate total employment at your location to change in the three months to the end of June 2022 as compared to the current quarter?” 

Interviewing was carried out during the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey findings for the April to June 2022 period are likely to reflect the impact of the ongoing economic disruption in some countries.
