Listen "Labor Market Slowdown: Young Grads Feel the Squeeze"
Episode Synopsis
Brian Shactman and Jill Schlesinger discussed the upcoming economic data releases, including jobs numbers for November and the CPI report. Schlesinger noted that the labor market is in a "low, higher, low fire market" with minimal hiring and firing, except in certain industries. She highlighted that the economy is growing due to increased spending on AI and wealthier Americans, but job creation has slowed significantly, with only 76,000 jobs created through September 2024. Schlesinger emphasized the challenges faced by young college graduates in finding jobs, advising them to focus on adaptability and skills rather than specialization.
