13% found out during the interview process that the actual job duties were different from what was advertised. And 12% found out the job was a contract rather than full-time employment gig. So I think correcting on these things would smooth the process both for job seekers and the people hoping to hire them.
Well, the data tells us where we've been rather than where we're going, and where we've been is definitely clearer right now. The most recent labor market data, the jobs report on the 7th and the jolts on the 11th, both indicate that the labor market was most recently on pretty solid footing. The economy is adding jobs at a healthy rate, and unemployment remains relatively low.

The hiring and quits rates have stabilized, so they're no longer falling, and layoffs remain low and steady. So that was the January and February picture. These data sources haven't yet captured what we've been seeing in the federal workforce. You know, a slight decline that we saw in government employment in the February data was more likely a matter of a hiring freeze and natural attrition.

But I can say with pretty decent certainty that the data we get in the next month will show some real effects of federal layoffs. And beyond that, there are additional potential risks on the horizon. Federal layoffs will impact certain industries, but tariffs and general economic uncertainty could stand to impact the labor market on a broader scale.
