The Weekly Economic & Business Outlook—or WEBO—is an ASA resource that goes out to member email boxes every week. ASA researchers examine trends within the staffing industry and developments within the broader economy, and they deliver succinct takeaways that can help drive strategic business decisions.
In the most recent edition, ASA analysts looked at retail hiring trends from 2023 to 2024, as well as fourth quarter 2025 reports, to help predict 2025 activity and opportunities for staffing firms. They also highlighted key staffing sectors that are adding jobs and almost single-handedly bolstering the job market.
The WEBO is a powerful and targeted data and analysis tool with features designed to deliver the data-driven intelligence you need to track trends and capitalize on opportunities. If you missed a previous edition, there is an archive available at americanstaffing.net/webo—look for “Past Issues” in the sidebar.
To make sure you’re getting your WEBO each week, as well as other ASA research emails, click the “Unsubscribe/Manage Email Preferences” link at the very bottom of this newsletter and opt in to research content. Also, be sure to allow emails from research@americanstaffing.net.
