Are You Getting the Weekly Economic & Business Outlook?

Earlier this spring, ASA launched its Weekly Economic & Business Outlook—known as the WEBO—a new resource that goes out to member email boxes every Tuesday morning. This targeted data and analysis tool features weekly analysis designed to deliver data-driven intelligence for staffing professionals so ASA members can track trends and capitalize on opportunities. ASA researchers examine movement within the staffing industry, as well as developments within the broader economy, and then deliver succinct takeaways that can help drive strategic business decisions.

Don’t miss this valuable new member benefit and business tool—to be sure you’re receiving your WEBO, make sure to allow the email sender address research@americanstaffing.net.
