Did You See the Latest Weekly Economic & Business Outlook?

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, 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 looked at expectations for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ upcoming monthly employment situation report, which will be published tomorrow, and discussed what the numbers might mean for the labor 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. 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.
