34 percent of employers around the world have difficulty filling jobs because of the lack of talent available according to a report from staffing services giant Manpowergroup.

The percentage gains remains stationary from 2011, but the report identified a increasing view from business that unfilled jobs are likely to have little to no impact on consumers and investors, up 20 percent from last year.

Manpower Chief Executive, Jeff Joerres, commented on the findings, saying: "Leaving positions unfilled may be a short-term fix, but it's a short-sighted and unsustainable approach to addressing talent shortages."
