Lockheed Martin chief executive Jim Taiclet said the company’s investment in munitions manufacturing reflects a direct link between production capacity and deterrence. He cited a $300 million expansion in Grand Prairie, Texas, and plans to create 6,000 jobs across the United States. “If we’re serious about deterrence, we have to be serious about production,” Taiclet said in a social media statement. The Grand Prairie project will expand the facility’s footprint to more than 735,000 square feet to accelerate munitions production and strengthen the defense industrial base. Taiclet said commercial manufacturing partnerships would accompany investment in workers and capacity. The hiring plans include 2,000 jobs in Texas. “We’re bringing in the world’s most advanced commercial manufacturing technology through partnerships with companies like Hadrian, while at the same time investing in the people and capacity needed to meet growing demand,” he said. “That includes plans to create 6,000 jobs nationwide, with 2,000 in...

At a glance During the pandemic (2019–22), the US labor market saw 8.6 million occupational shifts, 50 percent more than in the previous three-year period. Most involved people leaving food services, in-person sales, and office support for different occupations. By 2030, activities that account for up to 30 percent of hours currently worked across the US economy could be automated—a trend accelerated by generative AI. However, we see generative AI enhancing the way STEM, creative, and business and legal professionals work rather than eliminating a significant number of jobs outright. Automation’s biggest effects are likely to hit other job categories. Office support, customer service, and food service employment could continue to decline. Federal investment to address climate and infrastructure, as well as structural shifts, will also alter labor demand. The net-zero transition will shift employment away from oil, gas, and automotive manufacturing and into green industries for a modest net gain...

The U.S. job market rebounded last month, after sluggish hiring in July. Employers added 162,000 jobs in August, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. Last month's job gains were somewhat stronger than forecasters had expected, and the employment tallies for June and July were revised up by a total of 55,000 jobs. Hiring in August was concentrated in healthcare and hospitality. Factories and construction companies also added workers. Average wages in August were up 3.1% from a year ago, a smaller annual wage gain than the previous month. In recent months, wage growth has not kept pace with rising prices, and workers have seen a real erosion in their purchasing power. With the job market looking to be on solid ground, the Federal Reserve can focus its attention on next week's inflation report, as it decides whether to raise interest rates later this month. After the jobs report, investors raised the likelihood...

Key takeaways: A series of new economic forecasts from Indeed Hiring Lab suggest that in 2026, job openings are poised to stabilize, but may not grow much; unemployment is likely to rise, but not alarmingly so; and GDP growth looks to remain positive, but somewhat anemic. Sustaining current GDP growth in 2026 may depend on the ability of high-income households to continue to spend at elevated levels. If immigration policy continues on its current path, we can expect labor supply to remain tight in a variety of fields, including construction, hospitality, engineering, and medicine. If hiring remains strong in healthcare, and job creation continues in line with rates observed in recent years, job openings could remain relatively high and unemployment could remain low, especially if conditions improve in other sectors. If the mismatch in skills and experience between the jobs that are available and the workers that are available to fill them persists, hiring is likely to remain stagnant, and unemployment duration is likely to...
