7. The ripple effect

Several family work for a company most never heard of that facilitates international money movements. They have laid off 3400 so far in the last 4 months in their US workforce. The drop in international commerce with the US means they don't need those people

There are people there with over 20 years that are being let go. Rank and file type folks and low level managers.

No one around here is hiring. Not even fast food joints. All those we hiring signs we saw during Biden are gone. We keep being told unemployment is getting lower and new jobs are off the charts.... I don't believe it.
