We are back with the latest jobs data! Employment growth eased in June and came in below expectations. While historically, +209K new jobs added is a strong gain, it’s the slowest month for job creation since December 2020. Overall, the job market remains strong, but it is cooling and getting back to balanced.

Managers are the catalysts who define, shape and help influence the attitudes that determine corporate culture. Recently, more and more managers are becoming disengaged and overcoming manager disengagement is essential because it negatively affects employee engagement, team performance and cohesion. Industry research indicates that in the U.S. today, over 70% of managers have received no people management training, or their training was capped at just four hours.

It’s another month of interesting results in the roller coaster we call the jobs market! Even as the economy slows and unemployment rises, the labor market remains resilient. Employers are still finding it difficult to fill openings as the number of open jobs moved back above 10M. May marked the 29th straight month of positive job growth.
