What was said around it

what's happening here from my perspective this appears to be the time where businesses are trimming the fat optimizing their workforce adjusting to shifting conditions and making sure that they're in the best place possible to post a profit and unfortunately that comes at the cost of their employees for shareholders this actually seems to be celebrated because this would boost the company's bottom line but for the employees this seems to be a survival of the fittest mentality where only the top talent is able to stay in a way this is how the federal reserve could finally tame inflation and with less money chasing a higher quantity of goods prices can finally begin to decrease this also explains why unemployment is always so low at the peak of the market with loose monetary policy that allows businesses to over expand and then as soon as that reverses unemployment skyrockets back up this also applies to spending where in this case inflation needs to be considered and when that's factored in you can actually see a net decline as early as may of this year from that it's no wonder the businesses are preemptively laying off their workforce and preparing for a time where maybe they will need
