AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoHiring Outlook: U.S. job openings climbed to 7.52 million in September, above forecasts, while hires edged up and layoffs fell. Quits reached 3.4 million, their highest level since March 2025. Still, hiring has been sluggish for years, making the job hunt difficult despite plentiful postings. Job Seekers: One laid-off worker has spent a year sending hundreds of applications and now relies on substitute-teaching work as savings run low, a stark picture of the strain behind the headline numbers. AI and Skills: More than half of employers say new graduates lack the AI skills they need, while only about one-quarter think universities are keeping pace. A University of North Georgia program will train 34 small businesses to use AI, with the stated goal of preserving and creating jobs. Local Hiring: A new Walmart Supercenter near World Golf Village, Florida, is recruiting for hourly, pharmacy and HR roles; most advertised hourly jobs pay $15 to $28 an hour.
