The new Conference Board Help Wanted OnLine® (HWOL) Index is declining
October 18 | Gad Levanon, PhD, Former Vice President, Labor Markets, The Conference Board | Comments (0)The Conference Board Help Wanted OnLine™ (HWOL) Index has been declining for much of 2019, indicating a slowdown in employment growth. While the HWOL index is certainly weakening, it is nowhere near recession territory. The current decline is about the same as the slowdown in 2015-2016, but much smaller than that of the Great Recession.
