Understanding the overall hiring landscape through employment data can help HR leaders at small and mid-size businesses today gain a holistic view of the job market and position themselves as a more strategic business partner. Whether it’s the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) monthly jobs report or similar reports from other organizations, one commonality is they can all be perceived as an indicator of the overall health of the economy. Jim Diffley and Frank Fiorille will take you on a deep dive in the Paychex | IHS Markit Small Business Employment Watch and identify key hiring and wage trends across the U.S. You’ll learn how these trends impact business and the economy, as well as strategies for making this data actionable in your own organization.
