The ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey for Q3 2026 shows global hiring momentum steady year-over-year but cautious quarter-over-quarter, with a Net Employment Outlook of 26%, down 5 points from last quarter. Economic uncertainty, more than AI, drives hiring caution, especially in Europe, Asia, and large firms, though many employers still hire selectively for growth and skills that support business transformation. Mid-size companies show the strongest hiring intentions. AI tools aid productivity but human judgment remains key in hiring decisions. Regional trends vary, with the Americas showing resilience while Europe and Asia face declines due to geopolitical and economic pressures. The next survey will report Q4 2026 hiring expectations in September.
