costs. It's core to how we operate. Our ongoing work to optimize our fixed cost base, as well as enhance the digital capabilities that Taryn just mentioned, they give us room for additional revenue growth while protecting our margins. So we'll continue to invest selectively where we see some opportunities to drive incremental growth. And as demand improves, we believe that lean cost structure positions us for meaningfully incremental margins going forward. I'd also say If you just look at kind of the drop-through rates, i.e. the percentage of, you know, adjusted EBITDA that we get from our gross margin dollars, steady improvement here in Q2 and expect that to expand in Q3 and going forward.
Carl, then maybe just as you look at the business segments, kind of maybe your expectations for the third quarter. I know you gave some color on a couple exit rates, so I'm wondering if you'd give your perspective on what your expectations are for the quarter for your segment.
Yeah, so, you know, we have – we tightened our range here a little bit from plus 7 to plus 11, so feel good about kind of where our guide is from an overall perspective. That includes kind of – and I'll use, you know, ranges here for our people-ready business from plus 11 to plus 15, people management from plus 3 to plus 8, and people solutions from minus 6 to plus 3. You know, we feel good about kind of where we've been able to perform, and we always look to outperform or go to the, you know, upper end of our guidance.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
