    August 2026 Labor Market Update: The Headline vs. the Reality

    August's jobs report surprised economists with 162,000 new jobs, but the headline number doesn't tell the whole story. Colleen Madden Blumenfeld of Challenger, Gray & Christmas looks beyond the topline number at where jobs are actually being added and lost, the growing divide between sectors, rising employer health benefit costs, manufacturing hiring, and what the current labor market means for employers and job seekers. She also examines Challenger's hiring data and why rising hiring plans aren't necessarily translating quickly into filled positions.

    AI, Worker Dignity & the Board’s Responsibility with Michael Peregrine

    As AI reshapes jobs and organizations, who is responsible for considering what happens to the people affected? Challenger's Colleen Madden Blumenfeld sits down with corporate governance expert Michael W. Peregrine to discuss the dignity of work and the responsibility corporate boards have to oversee AI's impact on the workforce. They explore the expanding role of Human Capital Committees, AI-related worker displacement, retraining and reskilling, employee trust, the CHRO's role in major workforce decisions, and why boards should be asking these questions before — not after — restructuring decisions are made. The conversation builds on Peregrin's article, "The Human Capital Committee Is Where the Action Is for Boards," and Challenger's latest research into AI-attributed job cuts.
