US Job Market Enters a 'Great Freeze' Amidst Uncertainty

The US job market is in a bit of a holding pattern.

Companies aren't firing many people, which is good, but they also aren't hiring many new people either.

This makes it harder for people to find new jobs or get promoted.

Economists say companies are being careful because things like tariffs make the future uncertain.

Many workers are sticking with their current jobs, which is called 'job hugging'.

While companies aren't hiring a lot, some plan to hire more entry-level workers soon.

Experts don't see this changing soon, as companies are still making money, but not enough to change strategies.

Overall, it's a slow time for job changes in the US.
