The Challenge
Right now, the U.S. economy is sending mixed signals. Job growth has slowed, unemployment is ticking up, and past job gains weren’t as strong as reported. Economists call this a “soft” job market with fewer hires, more layoffs, and nervous employers.
At the same time, September often brings a seasonal hiring surge as businesses prepare for the holidays and year-end. For leaders, this means unpredictability: Will the surge be strong enough to offset weakness, or will it fizzle quickly?
Why It Matters
You’re leading a business in a VUCA world, Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous. The Fed is meeting September 16-17 to decide on interest rates, balancing weak jobs data against stubborn inflation. Their decision will ripple across every industry.
In times like these, talent planning is not optional — it’s essential. Waiting to see how things “settle out” could leave you under-staffed, over-stressed, and unprepared.
