But a job market, that's really tricky.
You hear the discussion about CapEx and the CapEx was too high.
And, you know, I would argue there's some other things at play there.
CapEx is your moat.
CapEx and R&D spend are the way companies can build their moat.
And it's actually data utilization.
And the companies that are exploiting data that are building bigger moats, that is at the core of what is happening.
This year, you're running at a number where we just saw 50,000, 39,000 was in health care.
Point being, and part of why, you know, I think the interest rate tool doesn't really affect health care.
