Views on labour markets were sharply divided. Summaries attributed to Kevin Warsh described the US labour market as fine, citing a 4.1% unemployment rate and stable claims 23, while John Butler argued that the US workforce had fallen by more than one million over the year and that labour data pointed to recessionary conditions despite official growth data 5. Darius Dale expected revisions to show the labour market is losing roughly 500,000 to one million jobs annually, while High Yield Harry highlighted concern about an economy where jobs are concentrated in healthcare and government 76. Other discussion focused on stagnant hiring and firing, Chinese graduates competing for low-paid public-sector roles, and possible AI disruption of Indian technology employment 849.

The stories

  • ○ a voice, on the left
  • ◌ a voice raising half of these
  • ● a subject, on the right, under its story
  • ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story

The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
