About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Hourly Earnings Growth Falls Below Three Percent as Job Growth Remains Steady for U.S. Small Businesses

By: via Business Wire

The Paychex Small Business Employment Watch for August, which reflects U.S. small businesses with fewer than 50 employees, reported hourly earnings growth for workers dropped to 2.89%. This marks the first time growth has been under three percent since January 2021. In addition, the one-month annualized hourly earnings growth dropped to 1.91%. The national small business jobs index has averaged 100.37 through eight months of 2024, representing modest employment growth.

“Our monthly jobs and wage reporting is based on actual payroll data and provides a near real-time pulse on the status of the small business labor market, which can be a leading indicator of the state of the overall U.S. workforce,” said John Gibson, Paychex president and CEO. “Our data has shown moderate changes in employment growth over the eight months in 2024, even though the jobs indexes in July and August were below 100. This supports broader trends of a cooling labor market and the Fed’s widely reported intention to begin lowering interest rates soon.”

“After holding steady for several months, hourly earnings growth continued to decelerate in August,” Gibson added. “Falling below three percent for the first time in three years is another notable signal that the labor market is moving closer to its pre-pandemic level.”

Jobs Index and Wage Data Highlights

  • At 99.89 in August, the national jobs index increased 0.02 percentage points from July but remained slightly below 100, indicating nominal year-over-year job losses.
  • National weekly hours worked growth (-0.08%) remained negative year-over-year for the 17th consecutive month, though one-month annualized growth was positive for the first time since January.
  • The Midwest (100.50) remained the top region for small business employment growth for the third consecutive month. Leading the region and nation, Indiana (101.87) was the top state for small business employment growth again in August and is the only state with a positive 12-month change rate (0.26 percentage points).
  • Education and Health Services (101.87) continued as the top industry sector for national job growth for the third consecutive month.
  • Ranked first among regions for the 15th-straight month, the West (3.55%) was the only region to report hourly earnings growth above three percent in August.
  • For the 10th consecutive month, Construction led growth among industries in hourly earnings (3.66%), weekly earnings (3.81%), and weekly hours worked (0.27%).
