How To Recession-Proof Your Job Search

The job market is losing steam, with recent news darker than ever.

• Intuit recently laid off 1,800 workers as it transitions to AI-based products.
• Persistently high interest rates have discouraged employers from continuing to hire.
• California now has fewer technology jobs than it did pre-pandemic.
• The US Labor Report shows very little private sector growth, with most jobs added in government and continues to revise previous reports downward.
• The unemployment rate continues to creep upward, hitting 4.1% as of the end of June.

Even though 2024 promised to be a better year, continued high inflation, a presidential election, and geopolitical uncertainty are contributing to a roller coaster job market. More candidates than ever are fighting for fewer roles, creating increased competition. The margin for error is very small.
