Questions 86 through 88 refer to the following report.
[M-Am] Results of a survey published today reveal that employers 
are optimistic about hiring prospects for the coming year. 
The survey, carried out by the ManManagement Group, 
found that increased demand for products and services 
means that employers are now looking to take on more 
personnel. Despite evidence that the nation’s economy is 
still in recession, nearly 75 percent of the 12,000 employers 
who responded to the survey said they expected to increase 
staffing levels in the coming quarter. This is welcome news, as 
the U.S. net employment outlook, which subtracts anticipated 
job cuts from jobs created, is now posting a positive figure. 
Most demand will be in construction, although finance, 
manufacturing, and retail sectors will also benefit.
Questions 89 through 91 refer to the following speech.
[M-Br] I’d like to take a few moments if I may to introduce Nicola, who is 
our new stockroom manager. Nicola comes to us with over five 
years’ experience in warehouse and stockroom management. 
Previously, she worked at Simmons Retail, and I’m sure her 
knowledge of stockroom systems will help us all. Nicola will 
be applying her experience to make improvements that are 
essential for us as we aim to double our store portfolio over the 
next two years. She’s not only new to the company, but also new 
to Baltimore, so before we begin our dinner, I’m sure you’ll all 
join me in wishing her a very warm welcome to Wallace & Sons.
