A survey has revealed that employers' hiring practices are not expected to change drastically from last year's. Fifty-seven percent of the 16,000 employers polled by staffing firm Manpower expect their job numbers to stay the same in the upcoming quarter. The findings show that if you're looking for work, head South for the most promising prospects, while the Midwest has the gloomiest forecast in the country. In the Northeast and West, hiring expectations haven't changed much from last year.
