Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

I’m not sure “bad economy “ is the issue for consultants as much as “uncertain economy”. In bad times consultants are needed instead of headcount for understaffed projects. In good times the money flows. In uncertain times, money waits and that’s what hurts consulting the most. I do think we’re still in uncertain times.
Layoffs have slowed down since most firms have been continuously shedding for the past 2 years and haven’t been hiring, but they are still happening at smaller, targeted scales.
Definitely recommend that you stay prepared (buff up savings, update resume, etc.)
I'm always worried about layoffs, I think everyone is with today's world. Layoffs are out of everyone's control so just try to focus on your own work and stay on top of everything. I do try to just make sure that I always have an updated resume and am making connections that I can use if I'm ever on the job hunt again unexpectedly.
