📈 US Labor Steady Employment Amidst Policy Shifts The US labor market maintained a largely **unchanged** employment level last week, according to the Federal Reserve's recent report. A surprising drop in new jobless claims was recorded, but the overall market dynamic remains one of stability. Layoffs continue to register at a **low** level, while the pace of new hiring is characterized as **slow**. Economists suggest that shifts in worker supply and demand are being influenced by ongoing trade and immigration policies. Furthermore, businesses are exhibiting caution in their hiring due to active investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). This cautious approach is a key factor contributing to the slow-down in hiring activity.
