Layoffs, Debt, and the 2026–27 Jobs Market: How Interest Rates Will Shape Employment Trends
Can four Fed rate cuts really move the jobs needle? In this Sunday Essay, we unpack how a $20T+ corporate debt pile, tight credit for small businesses, and AI-branded layoffs will shape hiring through 2027. We separate hype from hard data and look at where jobs are most likely to appear—and disappear—if money gets cheaper but not free again.
Until tomorrow, be the best human you can be.
