While overall hiring has slowed from the rapid pace of 2023, specific sectors like professional services, property management, and the public sector maintain strong demand. For employers, strategic hiring and competitive compensation remain crucial, while job seekers should act quickly and consider opportunities in these growing industries. The report also notes a slight increase in available workers and a moderation in wage growth.
