Net negative since February of 2025. It's a dent but it's progress.
An area that still needs lots of work are all the various work VISAS like H1B. AI is declaring the end of lots of programming related work, and a decent chunk of work that was billed at a higher rate while paid a lower rate but "overseen" by that higher rate like lawyers overseeing the work of paralegals. Why do we need to import "skilled" labor when AI is declared to slap the crap out of the work force there?
Finally trucking, my own family is seeing their fortunes improve there. My son was just offered a better job with a $5k bonus in trucking from his previous trucking position. I'm hoping my brother will see his fortunes improve as well.
Let's not forget that we have had decent job and wage growth even while watching Federal Worker Numbers drop to a generational low.
Next up... seeing how taxes go this year.
If I'm voting my pocket book and my family's pocketbook, I'm voting MAGA and Donald Trump.
