AI, Jobs, and Healthcare Solutions for a Healthier Career Path in 2024
Hiring picked up in September. Employers should expect recruiting to get busier.
(HR Brew, Oct 4, 2024) September's jobs report has delivered a surprise boost for employers, with the U.S. adding 254,000 jobs—a 95,000 jump from August and the largest monthly gain since December. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, sparking excitement for sectors like food services, which saw a spike of 69,000 new jobs, and construction, adding 25,000 roles. While holiday hiring plays a big role in this surge, experts note that white-collar industries may be recovering from overcorrection layoffs earlier this year. As employers gear up for 2025, HR leaders are urged to focus on strategic upskilling to close the persistent skills gap.
