AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Labor Market Shock: U.S. employers cut 23,000 jobs in July and May/June payrolls were revised down by 103,000, while unemployment fell to 4.1% mainly because 264,000 people dropped out of the labor market—an HR headache for hiring plans and workforce planning. Fed & Paychecks: The weak jobs picture is reshuffling rate expectations and adding pressure as mortgage rates rose again to 6.69% for the 30-year fixed, while wages still struggle to keep up with everyday costs. AI & Tech Hiring: New reporting highlights how AI is driving layoffs and slowing entry-level tech hiring, with tech layoff rates jumping and companies citing AI deployment while still investing heavily in infrastructure. Workforce Participation Wobble: Multiple pieces point to a broader “where did the workers go?” problem—labor force participation is at a multi-year low, complicating how employers interpret demand. Health Coverage Job Lock: A new study finds 24% of insured workers want to leave jobs but stay put for fear of losing employer health benefits, tying career mobility directly to benefits design. Local Hiring Events: A Benton, Arkansas job fair (Aug. 21) is set to bring 50+ employers and free resume help, signaling continued demand for practical, in-person recruiting.
