[Coin World] On September 4th (UTC+8), the Fed's Beige Book noted that eleven districts reported overall stable employment levels or little net change, while one district experienced a moderate decline. Seven districts indicated that businesses were cautious about hiring due to weak demand or economic uncertainty. Two districts' surveyed businesses reported an increase in layoffs, and multiple districts reflected a reduction in workforce through natural attrition—return-to-office policies sometimes boosted this trend, and the application of automation technologies like artificial intelligence also facilitated workforce streamlining. Accordingly, most districts mentioned an increase in the number of job seekers. However, half of the districts reported a decrease in the supply of immigrant labor, with New York, Richmond, St. Louis, and San Francisco districts emphasizing the impact on the construction industry. Half of the districts reported moderate wage growth, while the majority of the remaining districts stated that wage increases were moderate, and two districts reflected that wage levels had basically remained unchanged.
