The Latest Labor Trends Unveiled: HR Minute With The Workplace Advisors
Claudia St. John of The Workplace Advisors discusses labor market data and what it could mean for employers. These numbers are fluid and The Workplace Advisors stays on top of these findings for our clients. Connect with us for help with the most up-to-date figures and impacts to your business.
As of August 2nd, the U.S. Department of Labor’s unemployment figures, reveal that the unemployment rate rose to 4.3% in July, up from 4.1% in June. This increase reflects a continuing cooling trend in the labor market, with a notable rise in the number of unemployed individuals by 352,000, reaching a total of 7.2 million.
These figures suggest a moderating labor market, which may influence the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions, including potential interest rate cuts in the near future.
Moderating Wage Pressure: Although wage growth has slowed to a 0.2% month-over-month increase, it remains positive at 3.6% year-over-year. Employers should still anticipate some upward pressure on wages, especially for in-demand skills and roles.
Budget Adjustments: Companies may need to adjust their compensation budgets to remain competitive and retain top talent. This might involve offering creative compensation packages that include benefits, bonuses, and non-monetary perks.
Rising Expectations: Employees are likely to expect wage increases and better benefits as they see the labor market dynamics shifting. Employers should proactively communicate their compensation strategies and any adjustments to meet these expectations.
Overall, while the labor market shows signs of moderation, employers need to balance their hiring, compensation, and retention strategies.

Well of course all of my comments are getting deleted! Most people are pushed out for younger cheaper employees without pensions and benefits etc. the employees who lose their job often lose their house,family,cars,finances,health,dignity and all you HR sna-ks and viprs couldn’t care less!your all heartless soulless money lovers who will be at the bottom of the pit one day! Well let’s see if this gets deleted too! Cowar--s
What if my boss is making me lock my phone but I need to call my doctor like for example so I agree don’t use phone working but at break or for work yes people should be allowed to use there phones we have technology for a reason it helpful just like at my old school made this stupid rule we couldn’t even have our phones if left the campus how dangerous is that I’m not knocking on random person door for help when I can just call 911 or someone I trust
I see the possibility of termination coming and hoping it doesn’t involve going to court or arbitration. I am guilty and i want them to make it as painless as possible without fees. I have never suffered termination before but i acted like a complete ass and want so much to leave with grace, to stay away from such toxic social behaviors at this facility. And while they have the option to seek HR my presence at this facility creates in others a passive aggressive way to horass me. And my termination will be a win win for both myself and my employer.
Stupidest thing I’ve ever ever heard. In the fast food industry the last thing a customer wants to see is somebody on their phone while they’re trying to place their order. Or somebody on their phone while they’re making their order. This lady should be fired.
It's not even mostly the problem of the employees. it's the MANAGERS!!!
This is STUPID advice i heard from a HR advisor. Eployer hire staff on their own terms and pay. So employee MUST MUST MUST! follow the employer instruction, this is the end of the story
As someone that needs to use their cell phone to communicate with clients on a regular basis because the company they work for is to cheap to get them a company phone, yeah no. If I have accomplished my tasks for the day and I have nothing else that needs to be done, I will be using my phone. Older generations like to act like they’re the most productive people in the world when they need to take a smoke/coffee break every 30 minutes, spend hours in the break room or at other coworkers cubicles wasting time, or can’t get their tasks done quickly enough because they can’t use outlook or google calendar. If my boss has a problem with that I’ll simply leave and watch his company go under because his older employees don’t even know how to edit a hyperlink.

Putting lip stick on piggy face isn't Gonna change anything !! Factually most working Class citizens are struggling to live a minimum comfort ! Unless if we utilize our resources to help our people first, raise All salaries to match the rise of the living cost, Make healthcare Absolutely accessible to ANYONE, nothing will ever work Period. We're just good at donating money to fuel war to other countries.
Listen the hell up millennials and Z Gens. You are paid to do your job not be on your phone. Your freinds text can wait. And no I and many others don’t agree with this HR woman. She needs a reality check
What if the job is done efficiently though
When I got fired i decided not to remember the date of my termination so that when the date came around again it wouldn't be such a horrible memory. Walking out the door during normal working hours is really a bad experience. A waking nightmare. I lived several miles from work and I couldn't evn listen to my raidio because of my horrible feelings. Yes I made the mistakes and maybe it needed to happen but that didn't make me feel any beter.
Getting fired should not make someone feel better, but after much self-reflection, it should make you learn from your mistakes & then, DO better.
9-5 Jobs never allowed cell phones. Same goes for 2024
The current salary level of $35,568 a year works out to $17.10 per hour for a 40 hour week. This is slightly above the planned minimum wage in some states. At 50 hours a week, the same salary level of $35,568 a year falls to $13.68 an hour. It is regrettable that the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 did not have an inflation clause built in, and corporate America takes full advantage of that.
Okay but is this including bonuses or just someone’s straight salary ? There’s a huge difference in my pay depending on how this is factored
I hope to see it on my pay in july
Bullshit. As a construction foreman the loss of valuable billable time is absolutely unacceptable. I had a welder trying to answer calls from propective apartments while trying to work. That is both stupid ridiculous and even dangerous. In a shipyard? On a construction site? Bullshit! If I see you pull your phone out during working time it better be because your mom is dying. Or something of that nature or I will send u straight down the road. Is it really too much to ask a worker to pay attention to their duties during their shifts? They get a chance to check their phones every 2 hours! There is no readin to be pulking them out during regular production time. Such a stulid idea. That caters to absurd demands by workers and Icam always on the workers side ........except on this issue.
I have question, can an autistic employee of five years be let go for no reason except for being oververweight. His Boss makes commenrts often to humiliate him. The Manager does not believe non-whites should make more than minimal rate, even after years of employment
I don't see why they don't use AI or some combo including it, to stop this conglomerate market control. With the tech we can target how different businesses in the same areas( retail, construction, security) create transparent ceiling monopolies. making it so these absurd laws have to be passed. Everyone pretending they have to play the game. Instead of saying enough. his inflated economy is crazy. ( a $million a house as a standardized base line for house pricing. Used cars at $10k plus minimum start. ) They're ( the businesses) are using g to control everyone. Why not use it back to make things stable again.
What you say? For less?
Terrible advice !!! You’re paid to be at work and WORK !!! Not on your phone
We needed this back in the 1990s. The wage theft destroyed our lives.
Great tips about hiring for critical positions. We learned some the hard way!
Thanks Jon. Yes, we all learn the hard way unfortunately!
Gotta love how much of a rat HR are...
You mean there is an HR who care about grace and dignity
Need music at all times when working don’t understand why companies don’t understand people who have adhd music makes me productive
Also gives you ADHD
@@animaljustice7774 how
If my job is to put items on the shelf music is fine an helps productivity for me
Also when you have to let a manager and an employee the manager has not been managing go. …that will be shocking for the employee
Statistics show that over 70% of employees know that they will get fired.
Sometimes you have to let someone go due to restructuring. In this scenario, an employee will also feel shocked and surprised. And it cannot be helped
😜 *Promo sm*
This is horrible... the younger generation has no work ethic because of cell phones. They will never survive is we lost power for a long time.
Exactly
Block this horrible channel don’t let this lazy woman destroy your life with her stupidity
Use cellphones while driving working and walking just show the world how stupid and ignorant people are
In my now 7+ years of looking at corporate DEI and diversity programs, I can assure you, without hesitation, that many major companies and organizations in fact *do* operate explicitly on quota systems and a "numbers" philosophy in order to populate their workforces with the desired demographics. "Who" a person is is far less important than "what" a person is when it comes to DEI & ESG initiatives.
This really helped! Thank you
Very good explanation of the topic,in a basic way..good job..😅
Cellphone use should be limited during working hours. Communicate with friends and family and watch your stupid tick tock videos on your break. Until then, get back to work.
Not even in brakes they take more time to come back to work lazy human
@@apahtlicasasbrother you are the biggest human trash out there…. You have no family no life…. You must live the most boring everyday life…. I feel sorry for you somewhat
Benson ahh comment
I don’t like to work really! I’m not inspired… Also, I have everything I needed so why I need to sacrifice by working in a stressful situation. I will let my husband work and me sit at home
Hmm. I wonder how you got to this video then.
You admit to that. Wow!! Just to think that you simply "will let your husband work" while you sit at home. I wish him all the best and much luck as he probably lets you spend HIS money.
It's happening to me. I was told (after 4 years of working hard to excel in this role) that I can exit the company and reapply to PERHAPS be offered the higher rate the new hires are receiving. I would get a 3rd week of VAC in 2024 if I'm a fool and stay. Corporate America sucks. I feel so betrayed for my dedication; stabbed in the back. I hate being put in the position. It's heart-breaking. Meanwhile, my company just posted its 5th quarter of higher than projected profits.
Yes, We Hire SNOW FLAKES....
Cell phone usage is highly unproductive. I now have an office manager that blames all of her cell phone usage on having children whom are in daycare... Some can respect their employers wishes while others continually make excuses....
Yea ignorance starts with blaming their mistakes on some inanimate objects
Can you please explain how her having a family and a life outside of work is not a valid excuse for her to use her mobile phone?? Give examples please Just because you don’t have a family you wouldn’t understand…. So mind your own business and if she needs to contact her children…. Her OWN BLOOD…. You should keep your mouth shut and stay out of it you trash bag of a human
Hello I was wondering. Can an employee still collect unemployment if they get let go from a job
You have to be willing to let people go when they become a problem for the company or they no longer fit - you will find more people who have a fresh passion and this can breathe new life into your business with new ideas and new energy.
What are good measurables for productivity in remote settings?
Hi Latasha, great question. It depends on the duties of your job...the tasks and accomplishments you need to do to be successful in your job. This should be something you and your manager agree on and they will vary depending on each specific job.
In other words the federal government is Catering to poor people and not the working class
𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚖𝚘𝚜𝚖 😪
I'm sure there is nothing good for working people, the elite won't have that. The United States is a joke look at Sweden!
is at will mean you are fired?
Employment at will means an employer can fire an employee any or reason and in return an employee can resign anytime or reason.
"at will" employment is illegal up here in Canada.
Emotional intelligence is how to channel your emotion according to the situation but not be an emotional fool and stick to worthless emotions. ua-cam.com/video/HzT4uMYgtPk/v-deo.html
Thank you for saying this because it’s so true, my boss threatened to write me up because he thought I was on my phone when I had work to do which was absolutely false, I only use my phone for texting if there is no work to be done at that moment.
Lazy human work
If there is nothing to do? Find something to do, get busy. Don’t simply use that lame excuse for texting while at work
@@haragan666teachers pet PRICK
At-Will Employment is unethical in every way, and, what's worse is that it is being applied in the teaching profession. The schools are funded by the State and not the Principal and/or Administrators. Let me tell you what: It has gotten so bad that some of them are even referring to themselves as being Gods. I've heard: "Don't you dare even look at me the wrong way, or you will be fired and blackballed!" This is going on in America.
