## Resource

New Jersey’s job market took a brutal hit last month, losing nearly 26,000 positions — a shocking reversal that mirrors nationwide slowdowns. While unemployment dipped slightly to 4.4%, it’s not because more people are working — it’s because fewer are even looking. Professional services and hospitality took the biggest blows, and big names like Amazon and Verizon are cutting staff. Experts point to tariffs, global instability, and AI as possible culprits — though blame is already being thrown around between state and federal leaders. With more layoffs expected and long-term trends like aging populations and shifting immigration patterns at play, New Jersey’s economic future looks uncertain — and economists are watching closely.
