⚠️The US labor market is CONTRACTING:
The US economy added just +584,000 jobs in 2025, the weakest year for hiring outside of a recession since 2003.

US JOB MARKET IS WEAKENING BENEATH THE HEADLINES.
Involuntary part-time employment (people working part-time because they can’t find full-time jobs) has climbed to 5.34 million, the second-highest level since 2021, and well above levels seen during the 2001 recession.
