Release Date: September 2, 2025
Hiring and attrition have both moved lower in recent months, continuing a broad cooldown from the post-pandemic surge. With fewer new roles opening and firms proceeding cautiously, worker churn has slowed even as layoffs remain relatively limited. Looking ahead, muted hiring alongside easing attrition points to softer job growth and a less dynamic labor market.
