We’ll break down, fast and plain-English:

Tech: ~5k IT jobs lost in August; hiring shifts to AI, cyber, core infra; pay cooling = healthier balance.

Light Industrial & Logistics: Flat-to-steady adds; warehousing/material handling holding the line; transportation in equilibrium heading into peak.

Seasonal Hiring: Major retailers launching big holiday classes (Target, Amazon, others) with slightly softer totals vs. last year.

Regulatory Heat: $100k H-1B fee shock, non-compete scrutiny, E-Verify/EAD updates, and new state rules (CO wage act, CA leave, tighter healthcare staffing oversight).

When: Wed, Sept 24 @ 2:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM MT
