Job Market: Quiet December, Tough Reality
Update: 2026-01-08
Description

White-collar workers in tech, consulting, and media face a tough job market as larger firms pause aggressive rehiring. Artificial intelligence and headwinds like tariffs and federal cuts contribute to a slowing market with an uneven recovery. Checkout Solipillow.com
