Wichita employers will continue to hire at a steady pace in the coming quarter, according to the latest Manpower survey.

Seventeen percent of employers said they would add staff, while 6 percent said they would cut staff. The bulk of employers said they would keep staffing the same.

That is slightly weaker than the the current quarter, but about the same as the third quarter of 2016.
