NAFCU Research: Labor Force Participation Sees Improvement in August Jobs Report

WASHINGTON – The National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU) issued the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the August Jobs Report:

“The August jobs report gave the FOMC exactly what they want,"  said NAFCU Chief Economist and Vice President Curt Long. “Job growth came down from the stratospheric heights of the prior month but remained plenty strong enough to ward off fears of a recession. More important was the improvement in labor force participation, which had been scuffling in recent months. That should relieve some of the tautness in the labor market and allay concerns about labor shortages feeding inflationary pressures.”

[02:27] Having a leader who can really communicate cyber risks and understand how ready that institution is to deal with cyber events is incredibly important. [05:36] We need to be talking about risk openly. We need to be documenting and really understanding what remediating risk looks like and how you do that strategically.   [16:38] Governance, risk, compliance, and adherence to regulatory controls are all being looked at much more closely. You are also seeing other technology that is coming into the fold directly responsible for helping CISOs navigate those waters.  [18:28] The reaction from the governing bodies is directly related to the needs of the position. They’re trying to help make sure that we are positioned in a way that gets us the most possibility of success, maturing our postures and protecting the institutions.
