WORK LIFE: THE LABOR MARKET LOOKS OKAY, SO WHY IS IT HARD TO LAND A JOB?
In 2023, around 3/4 of new jobs were concentrated in just three industries: government, healthcare, and hotels/restaurants, and due to this uneven distribution, a polarized job market came forth.

It’s important to respect individuality while finding ways to coexist and complement one another.
