New for ASA Members: Weekly Economic & Business Outlook Debuted Today

The new ASA Weekly Economic & Business Outlook (WEBO) launched this morning for ASA members—this targeted data and analysis tool for staffing professionals features weekly analysis designed to deliver the data-driven intelligence and forward-looking business acumen ASA members need to track trends and capitalize on opportunities. 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.

A link to the first ASA WEBO was sent to members this morning and will land every Tuesday morning. Make sure to allow the email sender address, research@americanstaffing.net, so you don’t miss this valuable new member benefit and business tool (or opt out via the email).
