jmartin+FollowJob Market Looks Fine—But Is It?The latest jobs report seems solid, but dig a little deeper and things get weird. Sure, hiring’s steady, but way fewer people are actually working or even looking for jobs—like, 625,000 fewer! Most new jobs are in healthcare, while other industries are barely adding any. Plus, the feds aren’t cutting interest rates anytime soon, so don’t expect borrowing to get cheaper. It’s one of those "looks good until you squint" situations. #JobsReport #Economy #LaborMarket #JobCareer01Share
ramireznancy+FollowSurprise Job Surge in April!Did you see this? The U.S. added 177,000 jobs in April—way more than experts predicted! Most of the action was in healthcare and transportation, but federal jobs actually dropped. Unemployment held steady at 4.2%, and wages are still inching up. Even with all the tariff talk, the job market’s holding strong (for now). Anyone else curious how long this streak will last? #JobMarket #EmploymentNews #Economy #Wages #LaborMarket #JobCareer292Share
Brenda Cohen+FollowJobs Growth Slows, But No Panic YetApril’s jobs report is out and it’s a mixed bag: hiring slowed down a bit (177k new jobs vs. 228k in March), but it’s still better than expected. Unemployment’s holding steady at 4.2%. Wages are barely moving, and manufacturing actually lost jobs, but healthcare and education are still strong. The feds cut some jobs, but state and local governments picked up the slack. Economists are watching for tariff fallout, but for now, the Fed’s just chilling on rate cuts. The economy’s not booming, but it’s not tanking either—just kinda hanging in there. #JobsReport #Economy #HiringTrends #WageGrowth #LaborMarket #JobCareer191Share
