Worker shortages are being felt in all industries and regions of the U.S., according to the latest report by Manpower Inc., the temporary-staffing firm. The company’s president, Jeffrey
Joerres, says the constriction “isn’t plateauing” and is “continuing to constrict” employers’ growth plans.
The level of hiring activity in recent quarters is at a rate “unsurpassed since the late 1970s,” he says.
