Q3 2026 MEOS

Each quarter, ManpowerGroup surveys over 40,000 employers worldwide, including 6,000+ in the U.S., to uncover staffing plans for the upcoming quarter.
For Q3, the Net Employment Outlook (NEO) in the U.S. is 45%. Not only is this a notable increase quarter-to-quarter and year-on-year, but it’s also the strongest NEO in nearly 5 years.
This quarter, the report also asked employers about their most valuable hiring tools (hint: humans win), and the skills they look for most in candidates.
A few takeaways you might find relevant:
  • Construction & Real Estate (55%) reports the strongest hiring plans for Q3 2026, followed by Information (52%).
  • Globally, the NEO for the U.S. placed third in the world, after India and Puerto Rico.
  • 54% of organizations plan to increase staff, 9% plan reductions and 32% plan to maintain current headcount
If you’re planning for next quarter, this report gives you a useful benchmark for how others are approaching workforce decisions right now.
