The Quiet Collapse of Labor Market Churn in 2026

from The Labor Market Podcast with Fexingo: Jobs Reports, Unemployment, and Wage Growth · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna explore why labor market fluidity—the rate at which workers switch jobs and employers fill vacancies—has dropped to levels not seen since the early 2010s. Using May 2026 data showing job quits falling below 2 million for the first time in years, they examine how declining churn is affecting wage growth, employer hiring strategies, and the Fed's policy outlook. They also discuss the paradox of rising job openings alongside falling quits, and what this means for the average worker's bargaining power. #LaborMarketChurn #JobQuits #WageGrowth #JOLTS #UnemploymentRate #FedPolicy #Hiring #EmploymentTrends #Economics #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #LaborMarket #WorkerBargainingPower #JobOpenings #QuitsRate #May2026 #EconomicData #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
