Survey

The Colorado Springs area job outlook is less optimistic for the final quarter of 2013 than it was for the same period a year earlier, according to a quarterly survey by staffing giant ManpowerGroup.

The Manpower survey found good job prospects in construction, manufacturing, retailing, information technology, tourism and professional and business services, while employers in the education and health services sector were expecting cutbacks. Those in the transportation, finance and government sectors expected few changes in staffing levels.
