UKG: “Blue-Collar Boomerang” Expected in 2023

By: via Business Wire

January labor briefing to discuss workforce activity, trends today at 10:00 a.m. ET

UKG:

Summary: Today’s labor market briefing hosted by UKG at 10:00 a.m. ET will explore important and emerging trends affecting workplaces nationally, including:
  • How January workforce activity levels1 at U.S. businesses remain unchanged (0.0%) from December to January and why this is significant;
  • Business sectors showing strength and weakness by industry, such as healthcare (-0.4%); manufacturing (0.6%); retail, foodservice, and hospitality (-2.9%); and services and distribution (0.4%); and by size segment, including large and small businesses;
  • An outlook on layoffs and why workforce reductions concentrated in some white-collar sectors may ultimately help ease the labor shortage.

Register to attend the UKG labor market briefing.

 

Commentary:

Dave Gilbertson, vice president, UKG

“January delivered calm to the labor market after a December dip in workforce activity. Layoffs aren’t widespread and continue to be concentrated in predominantly white-collar sectors. Overall, demand for employees, especially for frontline and hourly roles, remains strong. We expect to see a ‘Blue-Collar Boomerang,’ as recently laid off white-collar and salary workers take up well-paying, highly skilled frontline jobs in the year to come, further easing the labor shortage.”
