Job losses continued in the second quarter, as 36% of firms cut payrolls, while only 6% added workers. The
percentage of firms adding jobs is at the lowest level seen since the survey began in 1982. Looking ahead, 18%
of firms plan to increase payrolls in the coming year, while 28% anticipate reductions.
