of 38% followed by South and Central America (+35%), APAC (+28%) then EMEA (+22%).
Labor shortages drive worker demand across sectors:
Manufacturing (+31%), Wholesale & Retail Trade (+29%) and Primary Production (+27) report strong hiring intentions as employers continue to struggle to fill roles requiring workers to be on site.
The weakest (though improved) hiring intentions were reported in Restaurants and Hotels
(20%) as hospitality continues to recover following the outbreak of the Omnicron variant at the end of 2021.
