Linda Price+FollowAre We Heading for a 'Jobs Recession'?Feeling like your paycheck barely covers your coffee habit? You’re not alone. Economist Mark Zandi says more Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, and if layoffs pick up, we could see a real slowdown. Small businesses are already cutting jobs, and if cautious spending spreads, it could mean less job security for everyone. Keep an eye on your budget and maybe hold off on big splurges—just in case the job market gets even chillier. #Business #recessionwatch #jobmarket40Share
Stacy Lane+FollowA Big Mac meal is nearly $18 now. This is the cost of the wage hike.Everyone cheered when the minimum wage hit $20/hr. The result? My local fast food joint fired half the staff, installed kiosks, and hiked menu prices by 30%. Now my salary hasn't gone up, but I can't afford what used to be a "cheap lunch." Is this really helping the poor? #MinimumWage #FastFood #Economics #Inflation #JobMarket00Share

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
Glen Daniels+FollowJob Openings Stuck—What’s Next for Workers?Job openings in the U.S. barely moved in October, holding steady at just under 7.7 million. Layoffs are up, fewer people are quitting, and the job market is way cooler than it was post-pandemic. High interest rates and trade drama aren’t helping, and the recent government shutdown made a mess of the stats. Everyone’s watching the Fed this week to see if they’ll finally cut rates. Are we headed for a slowdown or just a weird phase? #JobCareer #Job #JobMarket00Share
Brenda Cohen+FollowJob Openings Just Hit a 5-Month High!The job market just threw us a curveball—October saw job openings spike to their highest since May, even though hiring has slowed and folks are quitting less.

Anyone else feeling the job search whiplash? #JobCareer #Job #JobMarket00Share

But here’s the twist: hiring actually slowed down and layoffs spiked, especially in leisure and hospitality. Retail’s still adding jobs, but it’s a weird vibe overall. Even the Fed is scratching their heads, and there’s talk of possible rate cuts. Are we in a job boom or bust? #JobCareer #Job #JobMarket00Share
ramireznancy+FollowJob Market Feels Like an Exclusive ClubThe job market is giving major VIP vibes—if you’re in, you’re set, but if you’re out, good luck getting in.
