The Hiring Signal Hidden in Job-to-Job Transitions

Lucas and Luna explore a largely overlooked labor market indicator: the job-to-job transition rate. With JOLTS data showing 7.6 million job openings in April, yet quits rates remaining subdued, the hosts dig into what the churn between jobs reveals about worker confidence and wage growth. They break down why a low transition rate despite high openings may point to a 'sticky' labor market where workers are reluctant to move, and what that means for hiring in the second half of 2026. Featuring new data from the Atlanta Fed and a comparison to the tight market of 2022. #JobToJobTransitions #HiringSignal #LaborMarket #JOLTS #QuitsRate #WageGrowth #WorkerConfidence #AtlantaFed #JobOpenings #Careers #EmploymentTrends #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #JobMarket #HiddenSignal #LaborData #EconomicIndicators Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
