I’m not trying to panic or scare anyone but it’s becoming apparent that the job market is heading towards a recession. That might explain the Fed’s move to lower rate costs buying billions in T bills. Jobs >Inflation looks to be the Fed’s gamble.

Small businesses are getting hammered and are laying off workers in large numbers.

Employers have announced 1.1 million layoffs this year, a figure surpassed only during the pandemic shock of 2020 and the depths of the Great Recession. These announcements are global, and not all will materialize as U.S. cuts, Zandi advised, yet he considers their scale meaningful because they reflect decisions made months in advance of actual separations.

“The stark assessment comes as hiring has stalled, unemployment is rising—especially for the most vulnerable workers—and layoff announcements are piling up. To Zandi, the next stage is already visible: “If we actually do see layoffs pick up,” he told Fortune,“then it certainly would be a jobs recession.”
