What It Means for Remote Workers

đź§  What Just Happened: Jobs Report Miss

The U.S. economy added 74,000 jobs in July, falling short of expectations (economists had forecasted around 110,000). This marks one of the slowest months for job growth in years and suggests the labor market is cooling.

📉 So what does this mean for remote workers?

  • Companies may slow down hiring, especially for non-essential or experimental roles.

  • But leaner times also mean leaner recruiting — companies often turn to remote work to save costs, which could create new openings for distributed roles.

The machines we make shape us as much as we shape them.
It’s mind-bending.
