Rumours about potential layoffs: There's no recession yet - governments are trying to return growth to normal levels, and if they end up over-correcting there might be a downturn. Clients are cautious about initating large projects until they have a better understanding of what will happen. Consultancies invest in producing smart people (why they have massive graduate schemes++), and I don't see them taking a loss on these investments (and sacrificing their employer brand value) "just in case"

Sir this is a Wendy’s

I'm glad you're not worried about this at Wendy's, but I know lots of people that are

Companies have ove hired and some will use this as an excuse to trim staff. Economy is getting better, inflation is lowering, stocks have not crashed - they have come to where they should be.

I have faith in the US economy and the future.

A1, I think you're missing the point. Yes people are losing jobs. That is really difficult and it sucks. But more people are getting jobs. That suggests that at least the job market is still doing just fine, despite a whole year of people on this site claiming we were in a recession

OP is right, not only do we have 3.5% unemployment, but the gdp is rising and growth data is amazing
