As part of the ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey for the first quarter of 2026, all participants in a representative sample of 518 employers in the Czech Republic were asked the question: “How do you expect the total number of employees in your company to change in the next quarter, ending March 2026, compared to the current quarter?” In the Czech Republic, recruitment optimism is expected to accelerate in the coming quarter. 38% of employers plan to increase their workforce, 18% plan to reduce it, and 41% plan no change. The net labor market index is therefore 20 percentage points, up 6 percentage points from the previous quarter and 9 percentage points year-on-year.
