rprice+FollowJob Openings Up, But Nobody’s QuittingThe latest job stats are a mixed bag: job openings barely ticked up in October, but hiring stalled and layoffs went up. What’s wild? Hardly anyone is quitting their jobs right now—the quit rate is at a five-year low! That usually means people aren’t feeling super confident about finding something better. The job market’s not crashing, but it’s definitely not thriving either. Waiting to see what the Fed does next! #JobCareer #Job #JobMarket00Share
