>Currently, the data suggest that reduced labor supply is likely the key driver

It's interesting as far as people I know looking for jobs, they're supply ... and having a hard time finding jobs. Reduced supply you'd hope you'd get a job.

Granted the article addresses this both in the types of jobs and:

>The stability of the unemployment rate masks effects of the low-hiring, low-firing labor market.

I do wonder, if this continues and a sense of economic slowdown or worse continues, would lowering a rate really fire up hiring? I know small businesses who can't eat /dance around tariffs like big companies, some are seriously terrified / facing hard decisions, others fine.
