As We Work

Work, Life and Layoffs: Your Questions on Jobs and Careers Answered


Listen Later

The economic picture is complex right now. There’s still more than 10 million job openings in the U.S. and relatively low unemployment. But some companies have begun layoffs, and high inflation has many Americans worried about an economic slowdown. So, what does this all mean for you? We sit down with two of the Wall Street Journal’s Life & Work columnists, Callum Borchers and Rachel Feintzeig, to answer some of your most pressing questions about building your career in a time of uncertainty. Plus, Callum and Rachel share their best work advice as we head into the year to come.
