AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoHoliday Hiring: Amazon plans to add more than 300,000 seasonal U.S. workers, including about 4,000 in Louisiana, at an average $20 an hour. Retailers expect 325,000 to 375,000 seasonal hires but face a smaller pool of younger applicants and uncertainty over staffing needs. Federal Recruitment: OPM’s 2026–28 plan calls for skills-based assessments, broader outreach, pooled hiring and more data-driven decisions. Hiring Fairness: Instacart will pay $5 million to settle federal claims that it made U.S. applicants mail paper applications while foreign candidates could apply online; up to $4 million will go to affected applicants. Job-Search Friction: A Greenhouse survey found 81% of U.S. job seekers were rejected without speaking to anyone at a company, while 60% have changed or considered changing their writing so applications won’t seem AI-generated. Pay Transparency: A review of more than 3 million listings found over half omitted pay; disclosed annual salary ranges had a median midpoint of $107,450. Workforce Gaps: East Tennessee’s nuclear workforce is projected to grow from about 17,000 to 21,000 by 2032, with shortages expected in trades and plant operations.
