Join us for an economic briefing that will provide an overview of the regional economy.
The discussion will explore several key questions shaping today’s economic outlook: How are consumers doing? What is the state of the labor market? And what is the outlook for inflation?
These questions carry direct, practical implications for Human Resources professionals and the organizations they support such as hiring conditions, wage pressures, and worker availability, informing workforce planning, recruiting strategy, and retention efforts in a competitive talent landscape. Consumer spending and confidence trends offer a window into broader business performance, which can shape decisions around budgets, staffing levels, and growth plans. And the inflation outlook is especially relevant to compensation and benefits strategy, since inflation affects both what employees need from their pay and what organizations can sustainably offer.
