Prepper ping - (Economy) - The US economy is shifting, with major lay-offs occurring in February
Hint: It doesn't look good

Kaiser8408a : "10-1 tomorrow's report is bad but padded to dimish the negative impact."

(From the article):" I am waiting for tomorrow’s employment report to see if the Biden Administration plays it straight
or give another padded report like first half 2022.
But in the meantime, according to Challenger Gray & Christmas, U.S.-based employers announced 77,770 job cuts in February.
It is 410% higher than the 15,245 cuts announced in the same month last year." (Emphasis Mine)

"February’s total is the highest for the month since 2009… "
So far this year, employers announced plans to cut 180,713 jobs, up 427% from the 34,309 cuts announced in the first two months of 2022.
It is the highest January-February total since 2009…"

"While many of the job cuts is coming in the tech sector, we are seeing more industries reporting a rise in unemployment claims."

“It is the highest January-February total since 2009…”

Gee. WHO was _Resident then, I wonder? *SPIT*

This is going to continue to be the 2008 crash on steroids.

Plan accordingly for you and yours.
