Arrr, matey! Companies be shiverin' in their boots 'fore tossin' crew overboard these days! Good tidin's for ye landlubbers, for layin' off be a stormy sea fer yer pocket! The labor market be holdin' steady, unlike when the plague struck and they flung more than 13 million souls to the briny deep!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round, fer I’ve got a tale from the treacherous seas of the corporate world! Ye see, the greedy captains of industry ain't so quick to unleash the ol’ axe upon their crew these days. Aye, it be good tidings fer the scallywags toil’n in the belly o’ the beast, fer layoffs be a right nasty storm that can leave a sailor adrift for years, tryin’ to patch the holes in their treasure chest.Now, why does this matter, ye ask? Well, it be a sign of fair winds blowin’ for the labor market, which be holdin' its own better than them landlubber economists ever dared to forecast, even as the Federal Reserve be raisin’ interest rates like a ship’s flag in a gale.
Let’s cast our minds back to the dark days of yore— March 2020, when the plague swept the seas, and employers were firin’ folk faster than cannonballs flyin’ from a ship’s broadside! Aye, more than 13 million souls were sent overboard in a single month! But fear not, me hearties, fer the tides have turned, and the deck be far more stable now. So, raise yer glasses and toast to keepin’ yer jobs, fer the seas of employment be less stormy these days!
