Is this what a #SoftLanding in the #LaborMarket looks like? 💡 Read Senior Economist Mitchell Barnes, CFA's #JobsReport commentary for a deep dive into the latest data, including why recent hiring, #layoffs, and openings trends suggest a normalization to pre-pandemic conditions more than a deeper deterioration.
