Just wanted to ask how is the job market now in the US?

The U.S. job market is currently stable but showing signs of slowing growth. In June 2026, only 57,000 jobs were added - well below expectations - mainly due to elevated inflation and global uncertainties.

- Unemployment rate: 4.2%, but this is partly due to fewer people participating in the workforce.
- Wage growth: 3.5% year-over-year, which is slightly below the current inflation rate of 3.8%.
- Hiring outlook: 84% of hiring managers plan to add staff in late 2026, but nearly half are struggling to fill open roles due to skill gaps.

Overall, hiring is slower and employers remain cautious, but most still intend to grow their teams.
