NEW data released earlier this month has found that Granite Staters who’ve stayed in the same job since 12 months ago saw wages increase 4.8% year-over-year. This places New Hampshire at 23rd among all states for job growth.

WHILE some employers retain hybrid workflows, a third of companies say they will require a full 5-day in-office schedule, a ResumeTemplates.com survey of 849 U.S. managers found. About 22% of companies have already become fully face-to-face, while 30% say they will require three days in the office. Only 6% of businesses anticipate being fully remote through the end of 2025.
DESPITE the U.S. political climate, almost two-thirds of companies will retain budgets for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in 2025, Resume.org found in a survey of 1,000 businesses with such programs. Another 22% plan to increase funding for DEI internally. Just 11% of businesses say they are somewhat or very likely to eliminate DEI programs this year. In 2024, 5% eliminated DEI programs, while 8% reduced budgets for these resources.
