LOWELL, Mass. & WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UKG:

Summary:

Workforce activity declined 2.4% in January, turning the broader labor market trend toward neutral, after several months of relatively consistent stagnation — but there’s more to the story on what’s driving the slowdown in shift work, according to the January 2024 Workforce Activity Report published by UKG.

  • What outside factors likely caused January’s drop in shift work;
  • How U.S. employment levels are affecting workforce activity;
  • Which sectors felt the greatest impacts in January; and
  • What to expect from Friday’s jobs report.
