- Declining Job Vacancies Stoke Hopes for Interest Rate Cuts Amid Cooling Labour Market
According to the latest labour market report by Adzuna, a leading job search engine, vacancies have plummeted by over 17% year-on-year, with a further 0.5% decline on a month-on-month basis. Adzuna’s data reveals a total of 862,000 vacancies across the economy, marking the fifth consecutive month of diminishing job opportunities. The ratio of jobseekers per vacancy has surged to 1.87, the highest since August 2021, indicating heightened competition in the job market.
- Will the US labor market boom continue?
From JP Morgan: The labor market is tight, but it could be easing off according to Michael Feroli, J.P. Morgan’s Chief U.S. Economist. Growing immigration is leading to an increased potential workforce, as well as upping the pace of jobs growth. The recovery of labor force participation has been a welcome economic surprise, and people with disabilities have been central to this recovery. The female labor force participation rate has more than fully recovered following the COVID-19 pandemic and the gender pay gap has declined to a new low of 16.4% in the U.S.
- The US labor market is automating and becoming more flexible
According to Goldman Sachs: The US labor market is being shaped by three intersecting trends: two of them long-term and the third cyclical. Generative artificial intelligence is poised to automate nearly a quarter of jobs across all industries. The effects of AI will be felt on a workforce that is already “fractionalized,” in which part-time roles supplement or replace full-time ones. Those two megatrends feed into a slowing job market. Goldman Sachs Research expects US unemployment to rise over the next 12 months. In combination, these three forces will profoundly change how US companies recruit and retain talent in the near future.
- Large amount of Gen Z workers set to be laid off and replaced by AI, study finds
The research showed that 11 of the companies planned to cut 15 to 30 percent of their newly graduated employees, which suggests just how impactful the rise of artificial intelligence will be on the workforce of the future.
- US labor market can affect 'people who are not even here'
A recent study by researchers including Brian Cadena of the University of Colorado Boulder found that the U.S. labor market can affect the lives of people in Mexico due to strong migrant networks between specific regions in each country. Using data on where Mexican migrants settle in the U.S., the researchers compared how neighboring Mexican counties fared economically during the Great Recession based on whether their migrant populations went to harder or softer-hit U.S. regions. They found that areas connected to regions with bigger labor declines saw more return migration, lower remittances, increased female workforce participation, and decreased school retention.

- Tech’s Tumult: Soaring Profits Amid Surging Layoffs Reshape Career Dreams in Silicon Valley
Once the beacon of corporate innovation and lucrative employment, the technology sector is grappling with a wave of layoffs despite reporting robust earnings. Giants like Alphabet and Microsoft continue to post blockbuster results. Yet, according to Layoffs, the industry has shed over 338,000 jobs since 2023, with more than 75,000 cuts already in 2024. FYI, a platform that tracks job reductions in the sector. This paradoxical scenario underscores a shift in the industry’s operational ethos from growth to profitability, significantly impacting employment and altering the career trajectory of aspiring tech professionals.
Overall the market is fairly busy especially when you look at the broader WFP and PA landscape. We are still seeing a new core Talent Intelligence teams being stood up, a few hybrid sourcing and talent intelligence, but overall the market is in a much more positive place than even 6m ago.
