High Interest Rates

Elevated interest rates remain one of the most significant challenges facing the U.S. economy. Higher borrowing costs have increased expenses for businesses seeking to expand operations while simultaneously reducing consumers’ purchasing power for homes, automobiles, and discretionary retail purchases.

Although inflation has moderated from its peak, many companies continue to operate cautiously, limiting hiring and delaying capital investments until borrowing conditions improve.

The result has been a more restrained labor market compared to the stronger hiring environment experienced during earlier years of economic expansion.
