Employees anticipate a better economic year in 2013, according to a new survey by Randstad U.S.

In fact, 57 percent of respondents say raises are likely to come in 2013, a 10 percent increase from 2013, and 47 percent of respondents expect their companies to bring in more employees next year, marking a 7 percent gain. Another 30 percent of employees believe they will be offered promotions, up 6 percent from October 2011.
