- 4. Key Findings: Organizations’ Financial Health
Finance
What percentage of staff have organizations laid off since the U.S. and global
recession began in December 2007? Nearly one-half (45%) of respondents from the
finance industry indicated their organization had not laid off any staff in 2011.
Thirty-eight percent had lost between 1% and 10% of their staff. These 2011 figures
are similar to 2010, where 73% of finance industry respondents reported losing less
than 10% of employees.
How does organizations’ financial health compare to 12 months ago? The finance
industry’s organizational financial health is similar to what it was a year ago. In
2011, 57% of organizations from the finance industry were in a significant or mild
decline, whereas in 2010 this number was 56%. The finance industry is more likely
to be in a mild recovery compared with the federal government, state and local
government, health, and high-tech industries.

- 5. Key Findings: Hiring
Finance
Are organizations currently hiring? About three-quarters (74%) of respondents
from the finance industry were hiring in 2011, an increase from 68% in 2010. The
majority (77%) of those who were hiring were recruiting nonmanagement hourly
employees, and two-thirds (67%) were hiring nonmanagement salaried employees.
Just over one-half (55%) were hiring other management-level staff, and 19% were
hiring executive or upper-management employees.
Are organizations creating new positions or replacing jobs lost? Three out of five
(60%) respondents in the finance industry indicated they were mainly hiring direct
replacements of jobs lost, an increase from 37% in 2010. Fewer respondents in the
finance industry indicated they were mainly hiring for completely new positions in
2011 (29%) than in 2010 (48%), while the remaining 10% in 2011 and 15% in 2010
were hiring for positions with new duties added to jobs lost since the recession
began.
