The US labor market is crashing.
The number of employees in professional & business services and financial & information industries rose just 0.6% year-over-year in July, the lowest since March 2021.
In other words, employment in these industries has increased by just 126,000 over the last 12 months.
White-collar job growth has been steadily declining for the last 3 years.
In the past, such a significant drop was only seen in 2000-2001, the 2008 Financial Crisis, and the 2020 Pandemic.
