Is a recession truly "on the horizon"?

I'm applying for new jobs and I keep reading a lot of articles of a possible recession in the future. However, today I saw reports of an increasing number of job openings.

Anyone else a bit confused? I'm not well versed in economic, or market-related things.

Recessions are a thing you observe once it has started and been going on for a little while. You can't predict the next recession any more than you can predict the movements of a particular stock. Like with stocks, people like to make predictions and share them on the internet because it drives traffic to their website (where they have ads, try to sell you more advice, etc.) and/or inflates their ego.

You're correct that the current job market is not consistent with being in a recession. That's a big reason why we are not considered to be in one currently.

Hi everyone!! I'm new here! Just want to say I love seeing how kind and helpful everyone seems to be so far. I'm actively seeking a new employer since I'm a contractor now...no, subcontractor. I'm such an amazing asset to my clients and they regularly sing my praise. However, my role was always designed to be a contracted position. I feel like I've exhausted my options on LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, ect.. I see the same jobs every day. Any ideas how to search for a career outside of job boards? TIA
