Hopes are highest in India and Brazil.

More employers expect to hire than fire over the next three months, according to Manpower's Global Employment Outlook, a quarterly survey of over 65,000 employers across 41 countries.

The net employment outlook - the balance of employers expecting an increase in the size of their workforce over those expecting a decrease - is positive in 32 of the economies surveyed.

Hopes are highest in India and Brazil, driven by the services sector: nearly six out of 10 Indian employers in the service sector plan to expand their workforces before the end of June.

Let's have a look at the employment situation around the world, according to The Economist.
