Big Names Lay Off Thousands, Job Market Stagnant

from The Daily News Now! Business

Big names like Nike, Apple, and Republic National Distributing Company are announcing layoffs, with Nike cutting 172 jobs, Apple closing a store, and the alcohol distributor filing for over 3,000 losses. Despite a slight decrease in layoff notices compared to last year, the job market remains stagnant, with companies not hiring big but also holding back on deep cuts. Experts describe the situation as resilient yet jittery, sensitive to shocks like AI taking jobs and economic wobbles. With layoff cycles shorter and a quarter of households living paycheck to paycheck, one pink slip can spark a crisis. Stay proactive and keep your resume fresh, as the job market is currently treading water. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
