The Best Countries For New Jobs Next Year

India and China lead the list, followed by Taiwan and Brazil.
Manpower surveyed 64,000 human resource directors and senior hiring managers from public and private concerns worldwide to come up with its list. It asked each of them about their expectations for hiring in the first quarter of 2011. Almost half, 47% of them, came from 10 countries in the Americas, 24% from eight countries in Asia and the Pacific, and 29% from Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "This is very much a macro-economic look at new job creation," says the staffing firm's chairman and chief executive, Jeffrey Joerres.
The results are striking, if not surprising. India has pulled ahead of China since last quarter to take first place, with a whopping 42% net hiring outlook for the first quarter of 2011. China follows close behind at 40%, a 2% decrease from last quarter. Taiwan comes in third, with a net employment outlook of 37%.
Next in line, after Brazil: Turkey, at 27%."There are 75 million people in Turkey," Joerres notes, "more than people realize." And so, despite a lingering debt overhang, there are plenty of consumers buying stuff and driving growth and hiring. Next up after Turkey; Singapore, with a net hiring outlook of 26% for the first quarter.
Are these new jobs ones that should prompt Americans to consider moving? Possibly, says Joerres, though much of the demand gets filled by people from neighboring countries. Outfits like Manpower, which has offices in 82 countries, and the plethora of online job listings make the international job market ever more transparent.
While many of the openings are for low-paying jobs, there are also plenty of opportunities for highly qualified professionals, especially in fields like geoengineering and information systems, Joerres says. Oil and gas engineers are in high demand, for instance. That's a minority of the workers who relocate internationally for jobs, he adds, but it's a minority that's growing: "It's still on the margin, but the margin has gotten bigger."
The countries rounding out the list include Peru, Costa Rica and Argentina as well as Australia and Hong Kong.
How does the U.S. rate? Better than you might expect. It has a 9% net hiring outlook.
