Janesville employers expect to hire at a "strong pace" while Greater Beloit area employers expect to hire at a "respectable pace during the second quarter of 2008, according to the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey.

Rock County Manpower spokeswoman Phyllis Soeder says from April to June, 37% of Janesville companies interviewed plan to hire more employees while 10% expect to reduce their payrolls. That's compared to 30% who intended to add jobs in the first quarter.

In the Greater Beloit area, from April to June 20% of the companies interviewed by Manpower plan to hire more employees, while none expect to reduce their payrolls.
