People may struggle to find jobs even outside a recession, Eric Basmajian notes
Labor market weakness versus recession risk

Eric Basmajian stated that the labor market can feel weak even when it is not in a recessionary state.

He explained that while layoffs and job losses may be far from recessionary levels, individuals looking for employment can still face significant challenges.

Basmajian previously observed that jobless claims remain at record lows even as the labor market shows persistent weakness. He has also argued that addressing U.S. fiscal issues requires attention to major spending categories, noting that waste and fraud are smaller contributors to the problem in an earlier analysis. These comments come amid ongoing discussion about the current state of employment conditions.
