If the job market feels confusing right now, you’re not alone. But before you decide whether things are “good” or “bad,” look at the data. 👉 ow.ly/PO2450Z0pra This month’s report shows slower labor growth, regional slowdowns, and early signs that hiring activity may be starting to pick back up.
 Homebase’s latest Main Street Health Report draws on activity from 100,000+ small businesses and 2 million hourly workers across the U.S.

Awards recognize the win, but the real story is always the team. The pre-shift rituals. The inside jokes. The second-family feeling. Great workplaces are built in the small moments, the ones that happen before the doors open and long after the shift ends. #TopLocalWorkplace #JoinHomebase #SmallBusinessOwner #UnstoppableTeams

Spotlighting some, but celebrating every single one! Meet a few of this year's Top Local Workplace Award recipients. And congrats to all our winners, too. #TopLocalWorkplace #JoinHomebase #SmallBusinessOwner #UnstoppableTeams

More in our April Main Street Health Report → joinhomebase.com/data

April flipped Main Street's spring script: - Employees working slipped -0.2%, the first negative Mar–Apr reading in 3 years - Hours worked fell -0.7%. - Wage growth is cooling, up 5.7% y/y vs. 7.6% a year ago.

The difference shows up in the details. ow.ly/sF9z50YWI4t We asked 1,200+ people about their experience working at small businesses. What stood out most? When people feel like they belong, they stay. This National Small Business Week, we’re celebrating the teams and workplaces that make that happen. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #TopLocalWorkplace #JoinHomebase #SmallBusinessWeek #UnstoppableTeams #NSBW

We asked 1,200+ small-business owners, managers, and hourly employees what makes a great workplace. And spoiler, the answers weren’t always the same. 👉🏼 ow.ly/aja950YWeru While celebrating National Small Business Week, it’s a reminder worth paying attention to. What feels like a great workplace from the top doesn’t always match the experience on the floor. The good news is that the best workplaces are built by listening. When teams feel heard, everyone wins. 🙌🏼 🎉 #TopLocalWorkplace #JoinHomebase #SmallBusinessWeek #UnstoppableTeams #NSBW

Growing a bakery in Toronto meant Calvin at Butter Baker had to figure out a smarter way to run it. New systems, new integrations, and real-time data instead of waiting a week for reports. 20% labor savings later, he's already planning his next location. #smallbusiness #baker #cakemaker #casestudy #joinhomebase

Born from a shared mission to nourish their community, Ivy Walls and Jeremy Peaches turned local farming into a force for change. Through Black Farmer Box and Fresh Houwse, they’ve built a network connecting people to fresh, affordable food in Houston’s Sunnyside neighborhood. “Agriculture is a pretty unregulated industry. When it comes to finances, payroll, and taxes, Homebase really broke it down for us. It helped us do things the right way.” With a growing team spanning two businesses, having tools that keep them organized and compliant has made all the difference. Payroll syncs directly with hours worked, taxes are handled correctly, and reports make it easy to track labor and plan week to week. #joinhomebase #smallbusiness #familyowned #farmtotable #farmlife
