Hiring rebounded after a rough patch, defying economic turbulence and soaring gas prices. Unemployment hovers at 4.3%, but job creation feels weaker than post-pandemic days. Workers are holding tight, job seekers are stuck in limbo, and young grads face tougher entry. Layoffs linger for months, leading to fewer quits as people stay put. Healthcare dominates job growth, while other sectors shed roles—partly due to aging demographics and fewer immigrant workers. Fewer people entering the workforce means less demand for new jobs. AI isn’t causing mass layoffs—it’s boosting productivity. And here’s the twist: remote work might be hurting new grads’ hiring chances, as companies struggle to onboard talent from afar.
