📉 US Job Market Cracks Are Widening | What It Means for the Fed, Interest Rates & the Economy 🔍

In today's video, we break down why the U.S. labor market may not be as strong as it seems. While headline numbers suggest stability, a deeper dive into the latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) reveals something more troubling: for the first time in over four years, unemployed Americans now outnumber available jobs.

We explore:
📊 The sharp drop in job openings (down 176,000 in July)
⚠️ Rising layoffs and concerning revisions to earlier employment data
🏥 A major slowdown in healthcare and social assistance job openings
😬 Why more workers are staying put and not quitting
🏦 What this means for the Federal Reserve as it weighs cutting interest rates
🤯 President Trump’s controversial firing of the Labor Dept's chief statistician
📉 How immigration policy is contributing to labor shortages and slower growth

With unemployment creeping up and fewer job openings across key sectors, the labor market is flashing warning signs that could shape economic policy decisions in the coming weeks — including the Fed's next move on interest rates.

🗓️ Key dates ahead:
Friday: August Jobs Report
Next week: CPI Inflation Data
In two weeks: Federal Reserve interest rate decision

If you're following the economy, Fed policy, job reports, or political developments — this is one you don’t want to miss.
