If you feel like layoffs are happening everywhere right now, you're probably only reading high brow media or talking to your friends who work in tech or i-banking...
Despite headlines, here's what's actually going in the U.S. labor market:
From Nov 2022 to Dec 2022:
1) Total job openings are up from 10.5M to 11M!
2) IT jobs are indeed down - from 216 to 109...
3) But healthcare is stuck at 1.9M job openings and;

Anger and hostility might be channeled into the practice of law.
Dreamers can write fiction.
