I work in construction and we are laying off people every week, we had over 900 employees and now down to 650 ish yeah it’s getting rough
Remember when they told the cole miners to learn to code, but it ended up being the coders who lost their jobs first to automation. They actually had to code the programs that replaced them.
the misprint on jobs data is different this time because it's 100k off
I lived in the Bellevue Washington area and tech has been laying off for the last 2 years. Also college graduates were having a hard time getting jobs and were settling for service hospitality jobs. This has been the situation for years and I thought Powell was late years ago. Jobs report has always been skewed.
Gentlemen, start the engine.
For me, the scary thought is, that the market will price in sept rate cut but tariff inflation hits at that point, meaning it doesn't happen. and markets nuke.
It's starting to look like stagflation.
