The job market is shifting, and if you’re not ready, inflation could quietly drain your bank account. With jobless claims hitting a seven-month low, layoffs are decreasing, but that doesn’t mean it’s smooth sailing. Competition for jobs is heating up, and the rising cost of living means standing still isn’t an option. Let’s break down what this all means and how I help you stay ahead.
According to Yahoo Finance, jobless claims have dropped to 213,000—fewer than expected. That’s a good sign, showing fewer layoffs. But continuing unemployment claims are at their highest level since 2021, which means more people are still competing for jobs. It’s a “sideways” market: stable, but competitive.
Here’s the snapshot of what’s happening and how my services make a difference:
