“August’s negative move in hiring came as a bit of a surprise, given the overall positive economic outlook for the remainder of 2016. As we have seen with previous employment reports, it will be key to watch the real trajectory of the labor market for all market segments to truly understand the take-away for the broader economy.” –Philip Noftsinger, President of CBIZ Employee Services Organization
