Job seekers in Iowa should find plenty of opportunities in the New Year, according to a new survey of employers. The ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey found, between January and March, 24 percent of the Iowa companies interviewed plan to hire more employees, while just four-percent expect layoffs. Another 68 percent expect to maintain their current workforce levels. The hiring intentions are stronger than surveys conducted both three months ago and one year ago.
