December’s jobs report is giving mixed vibes: only 50K new jobs (way below expectations), but unemployment dipped to 4.4%. Layoffs are at a 17-month low, but hiring is super slow and revisions show the market’s weaker than we thought. Some industries are still adding jobs, but manufacturing and government took big hits. No recession alarms yet, but definitely not a party for job seekers. Wage growth is steady, though! #JobCareer #JobsReport #Unemployment
