GOOD NEWS 🗞 on the hiring front for the remainder of 2024! 🎉 🤝 🙌 Hiring Outlook for 2024 As we at Grey Staffing continue to support our clients and candidates in navigating the ever-evolving job market, it's important to stay informed about current hiring trends. The outlook for U.S. hiring during the rest of 2024 remains positive, though budget constraints are influencing some companies' growth plans. Here’s a brief overview of the latest findings. A recent survey by Express Employment Professionals and Harris Poll indicates that 81% of U.S. hiring managers are optimistic about their company's hiring prospects for the remainder of the year. This optimism is largely driven by an increase in workload (50%) and the need to fill new positions (44%). Despite the positive outlook, more than half of the hiring managers (60%) expect to increase their workforce, though only 15% plan to make significant hires. Industries like healthcare, social assistance, and leisure and hospitality continue to show robust hiring trends. Conversely, around 32% of companies plan to maintain their current headcount, while 6% foresee a reduction in employees. Among those not planning to expand, budgetary constraints are a primary reason (33%), followed by a perceived lack of need for additional staff (30%) and a wait-and-see approach to workload stabilization (22%). At Grey Staffing, we are committed to providing tailored staffing solutions to help our clients thrive in this dynamic environment. Stay tuned for more updates and insights!

Interesting June Jobs report with the Federal Government adding 70,000 jobs in June, as most Americans are concerned about inflation and the soaring budget deficit. These 21,000 jobs are higher than the average monthly gain of 49,000 or the 245,000 jobs the U.S. government has created since the beginning of 2024. Adding in the 70,000 jobs added in June, the U.S. government has now created 315,000 jobs this year! It must be noted that adding government jobs does not increase our GDP nor does it help support our country in being more globally competitive. However, some good news for the FOMC along with business’ and consumers who are hoping for interest rate reduction relief: The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for April was revised down by 57,000, from +165,000 to +108,000, and the change for May was revised down by 54,000, from +272,000 to +218,000. With these revisions, employment in April and May combined is 111,000 lower than previously reported.
