The quarterly survey notes that 28 percent of employers expect to hire more workers from April to June. That's the highest level since the first quarter of 2001 and it's the third consecutive quarter in which U.S. employers have increased hiring.

Of some 16,000 employers polled, 28 percent expect to increase hiring from April to June while six percent will cut the number of workers they hire.
