The 2024 labor market was one of contradictions – substantial cooling yet defying expectations; hiring stalled yet layoffs remained low; a talent shortage yet job seekers struggled to find work.

The main story of the labor market over the past couple of years was the disconnect between headline numbers, which remain strong, and perceptions of the economy, which vary based on location, occupation, and industry.

Mallory will dig into how these trends will shape the labor market over the next year, with a forward-looking analysis of labor market and compensation trends for 2025.

The presentation will break down labor market data in accessible, relevant ways and provide the context needed for HR practitioners and business leaders alike. Participants will learn how current labor market and compensation trends are impacting their ability to hire

and retain talent.
