Not sure I can correlate these things. We just have 1 little data point, a recent surge of articles about layoffs in the news. The real labour stats are showing record employment levels. Would it make sense to hire as many people as possible right now, to lock their salaries in at a much lower price than it will be in the future, due to inflation (if they think the pivot is coming)? Just throwing random ideas out but I do know one thing, I know very little :P
