It is starting to look a lot like the Great Recession again. \u00a0I thought that the pace of layoffs in 2024 was bad, but it has just exploded here in 2025. \u00a0Vast numbers of good paying jobs are being ruthlessly eliminated, and competition for any decent jobs that are still available has become extremely fierce. \u00a0In some cases, workers that have many years of experience are applying for hundreds of jobs but are not even able to get a single interview. \u00a0I have said this before, and I will say it again. \u00a0If you currently have a job that you highly value, hold on to it as tightly as you can. \u00a0You don\u2019t want to be left without a chair when the music stops playing.<\/p>\n
