This Month in Charts

Join Kevin Marrs, ASE Vice President, for a fast, visual look at the latest labor market and economic trends impacting HR and business leaders.

Through a series of simple, data-driven charts, we’ll highlight emerging trends in employment, wages, workforce participation, and overall economic activity. More importantly, we’ll translate those trends into practical insights you can use to guide people strategies in your organization. Whether it’s spotting shifts in hiring and retention, anticipating budget pressures, or understanding how broader economic forces affect your workforce, this session will help you stay informed and prepared.

Think of it as your monthly pulse check on the economy delivered in a way that’s visual, digestible, and directly relevant to HR.
