I think the tariffs are more than talk…they are actual tariffs
Not just a drop in hiring, but layoffs are already starting (see the auto industry for example where the tariffs are particularly hard hitting). From what I can tell the labor market has been frozen in the lead-up to the announcements and seemingly about to tip into reduction mode.
From what I've heard, when companies start getting nervous about tariffs, they usually tighten up on spending and focus more on efficiency. That might mean slower hiring, but sometimes it also creates opportunities for consulting or contract work. It comes down to how businesses choose to adapt.
60% chance of recession, so you should expect to see layoffs. Whether that results in accountants getting fired who knows.
at worst
I know uber is always looking for drivers lol
There is likely to be lay-offs and hiring freeze, however, dont dispair but instead look at how your skills may be suitable for alternative work environment. For example you maybe leaving a manufacturing environment to a services environment or not for profit opportunity.
