Economy / Local Job Market

With so much going on with the economy, job cuts, and the area in transition (for example, are fentanyl deaths up year over year but Sawant and other loonies are down), I'm curious as to what others think about everything. I have my opinions but am more curious as to what others think. For instance:
1. Are we in a local recession or headed for one? Or are we in a national one but Western WA is holding up ok?
2. Is your company hiring or laying people off?
3. Do you know someone who has been laid off or who got a new job?
4. Do you think the market's recent rally is durable?
5. Do you work fully in the office, hybrid, or remote?
6. Are you cutting back on discretionary spending?
7. Is anything keeping you up at night regarding the economy or declining conditions at work?
8. Are you in a start-up or young company and wishing you had a safer corporate job or vice versa?
9. Is water wet?
10. Will it be interesting either way?

What market rally? The market's high was 37,000 under Trump more than 2 years ago. It's not even 34k today.

Get on the diversity bandwagon and put together a PP, then pimp that baby to every county and state in the country. They're all flush with cash until 2025. Chop, chop!Bob_C said:
