Summation of the Federal Reserve Board's Beige Book

Eight times a year, the Federal Reserve Board collects and publishes anecdotal information on the current economic and employment conditions gathered from its 12 district banks. Commonly referred to as "the Beige Book" its formal name is "Summary of Commentary on Current Economic Conditions by Federal Reserve District." We pull out and highlight passages relevant to staffing industry interests, IT and engineering staffing and solutions companies, as well as comments about other sectors and industries that are major customers of staffing and solutions companies.
