“An increase in the jobs index coupled with a continued
moderation of wage growth reflects a relatively stable
macroeconomic environment,” said John Gibson, Paychex president and
CEO. “A tight job market for qualified workers, reduced access to
affordable growth capital, and inflationary pressures continue to
be headwinds for small and mid-sized businesses. They continue to
manage hours worked to control cost and deal with inflation.”
“Our clients tell us they are still struggling to find qualified
employees and we continue to be committed to providing them with
the right HCM technology, tools, and advisory services that will
help them attract and retain talent,” added Gibson. “We’ve also
seen that offering affordable benefits like healthcare insurance
and retirement plans can help business owners compete for
talent.”
