Hiring by U.S. employers is expected to remain steady in May, but there could be a lag in comparison to an annual basis, according to a report from the Society for Human Resource Management.
From May 2011 and May 2012, service-sector hiring is believed to fall by a net of 17.1 points while manufacturing-sector hiring is expected to drop by a net of 3.8 points, the report shows. Still, the report shows a more positive outlook as more employers plan to hire than lay off workers.
