The US job market is cooling. Here's what that means for workers | JUST THE FAQS

From layoffs to hiring freezes, there are signs that the job market in the U.S. is slowing. Here's what workers should know.

A cooling job market is leading to more than a slowdown in hiring, a pickup in layoffs and growing recession fears. It appears to be the one force capable of prodding America’s workers out of their homes and back to offices.

The slowing labor market is starting to shift some bargaining power from employees to employers, allowing a growing number of companies to require workers to return to the office at least a few days a week, staffing officials and consultants say. Many businesses are still struggling to find workers and so the change is in its early stages, but it’s expected to accelerate as hiring pulls back further and layoffs spread in the months ahead, experts say.

“Companies are a little less concerned that they’re not going to fill jobs if they lose people because of return-to-work policies,” says Jim McCoy, senior vice president of talent solutions for ManpowerGroup, a leading staffing firm. “There's starting to be less competition for talent, and employers can be a little more selective.”

Honestly I don't understand the job market in America I was going to try and give some advice to some people but I've gotten in trouble for speaking up I've gotten in trouble for not saying anything I've gotten in trouble for making friends and trying to like unionize and gotten in trouble for being a solo guy it just seems like whenever they're upset you need to roll over and let them kick you in the ribs or you're not going to have a job so everything you've worked for and everything you're attempting to be is irrelevant to 90% of your bosses just feels like no growth is here and it's just people get hired to improve their children social status or something stupid like that
