The dashboard combines and analyzes the weekly ASA Staffing Index, monthly U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, quarterly ASA Staffing Employment and Sales Survey data, and gross domestic product projections.

How can your firm leverage artificial intelligence tools while protecting your business? AI is reshaping staffing, placement, workforce management, and compliance, but that doesn’t mean you have to decide between embracing innovation and avoiding regulatory backlash.

The ASA Legal Line monthly video series features a member of the ASA legal team or industry legal expert and addresses critical legal, regulatory, and legislative topics that have direct implications for your business. In the latest installment, ASA vice president of government relations Toby Malara, Esq., shares some key thoughts on navigating AI tools, and what that looks like for the staffing industry. This topic and many other legal and compliance updates will be the focus of the 2026 ASA Staffing Law & Compliance Conference, May 7–8 in Washington, DC.

In the session “Saying ‘Yes’ to Innovation: The AI Tools You Need for Compliance and Growth,” attorneys Sarah Kroll-Rosenbaum and Hannah Sholl, founding partners of Grove Law, will explore how to evaluate, adopt, and govern AI tools in ways that drive efficiencies and competitiveness while managing legal, ethical, and operational risk.
