Job prospects in Orange County for the first three months of 1986 will be better than the national average but not as good as they were a year ago, according to a survey of area employers by Manpower Inc., a major temporary-help service. Manpower's employment outlook survey of 60 county employers found that 17% of them plan to increase staffs in the first quarter of next year while 5% plan to reduce staffs. The rest either anticipate no change or are unsure of their needs.
