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.
