Ten percent, however, expect to cut staff.
A total of 39 percent of managers say they expect to hire temporary workers over the next three months.
Workers, meanwhile, are expressing more optimism about the job market. Forty percent of them say they plan to look for another job as the economy improves.
The CareerBuilder sample is a relatively small 122 employers and 312 workers, so there is a greater margin of error than with a larger sample.
