I've been searching for a new job for a while now, and the job market feels incredibly tight. A friend mentioned that it's possible that businesses are essentially in a holding pattern and not making new hires until there's more clarity on the economic effects of the upcoming tariffs on July 9th and any changes brought by the 'Big Beautiful Bill." Do you agree?

I've heard people saying that companies seem to be in a hiring freeze, but I don't know that any have actually said that. It could just be a fairly typical summer slowdown. But I guess there could be a component of apprehension about the impending tariffs. If companies don't know what they'll be paying for supplies or merchandise in the coming months it's just hard to plan around that.

I get where your friend is coming from. I think the tariffs and that bill are part of the hesitation, but I also feel like some companies are just being extra cautious in general this year.
