What Did This Week’s WEBO Say About Interest Rate Cuts?

The Weekly Economic & Business Outlook—or WEBO—is an ASA resource that goes out to member email boxes every Tuesday morning. Every week, ASA researchers examine trends within the staffing industry, as well as developments within the broader economy, and then deliver succinct takeaways that can help drive strategic business decisions.

In the most recent edition, ASA analysts considered what the Consumer Price Index report would mean for the likelihood that Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next month, and reviewed the data suggesting that wage growth in the U.S. is abating.

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. 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 email and opt in to research content. Also, be sure to allow emails from research@americanstaffing.net.
