But there's other industries thriving, which Bunker told Insider "can be a source of opportunities or job gains for some of these workers that might be experiencing job loss or sort of fewer opportunities than before." We’re currently thought to be in this type. The Fed had projected a rebound with annual real GDP growth reaching upwards of 5 percent, 1 only to see it failing to reach even 3 percent during the Obama years. It is often characterized by a low unemployment rate, increasing asset prices, low interest rates, brisk but steady GDP growth, and low inflation. The pro-growth turn of economic policy since the 2016 election has economic performance finally recovering as the Federal Reserve originally predicted after the recession. If they did, it would represent a job market tipping into the "too cold" zone.Īccording to Bunker, the "unwinding of some pandemic-era habits" in terms of household spending could have contributed to the fall in employment from February to March for construction, retail trade, and manufacturing. Investopedia defines a Goldilocks Economy as one that is not so hot that it causes inflation, and not so cold that it causes a recession. While industry-level job openings data show a recent drop in demand for some sectors like accommodation and food services, leisure and hospitality, retail, and manufacturing, mass job cuts don't seem to be spreading to other sectors yet.
The exception, of course, comes in the layoffs seen in a few specific sectors like tech. "In other words, workers seem to have more control over when and how they switch jobs." "Employee quits seem to be permanently higher, and layoffs permanently lower, than was normal in the twenty years before the pandemic," she added.
