AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Cybersecurity & Hiring: North Korean “WaterPlum” hackers used fake corporate headhunter recruiting to infect 30,000+ devices across 100+ countries, stealing crypto credentials tied to about $10.71M, a reminder that job-seeker scams are now a major workplace risk. AI Skills Demand: A new push for AI-ready cybersecurity talent is accelerating as AI-assisted phishing and attack automation grow, shifting what employers expect from candidates. AI & College Outcomes: A Census Bureau study finds AI-exposed majors (like computer science) saw weaker early employment and earnings after 2022, raising new questions for career planning. Labor Market Signals: Southern California hit record job totals in August, but hiring growth lagged long-term norms—good news for headcount, mixed news for job seekers. Fed, Paychecks & Costs: The Fed’s rate hike and near-7% mortgage rates keep pressure on household budgets, while real wages are slipping—an HR and hiring headwind. Workplace Rights: A federal judge blocked Trump’s “loyalty” essay question for civil service applicants, reinforcing limits on political screening. DEI Backlash Settlements: Starbucks agreed to end race- and sex-based hiring preferences nationwide under a Florida settlement, with $1M in payments and compliance reviews. Skilled Trades Pipeline: Disney plans 5,000 new Central Florida jobs over five years, and Ingalls’ VR welding lab surpassed 1,000 trainees—both point to continued demand for training-to-hire pathways. Infrastructure Jobs: Amazon and Wiwynn’s Socorro expansion targets nearly 1,000 new jobs by 2027 tied to data-center hardware manufacturing.
