Will the job market be better in 2025 than 2024?

Job growth is expected to slow this year. Consumers’ post-pandemic burst of demand is fading, but businesses are still saddled with high labor costs due to outsize raises during COVID-related labor shortages. That’s squeezing profit margins according to some experts.

There is also uncertainty over President-elect Donald Trump’s policies, and that is causing many employers to stand pat for now.

Also Trump pledge to loosen regulations on companies and work with Congress to extend and expand tax cuts. This could increase hiring. Many businesses are waiting to see what happens before making any move.

Net job gains have remained positive in spite of a slowing in consumer spending.

Some experts predict the average monthly job growth will slow by the end of 2025. #AWU #disability #jobs

Accessibility Is Worth Investing In: Why Hollywood Must Prioritize Disability Inclusion?

By Variety

People with disabilities represent 28.7% of the viewing and purchasing audience in the U.S. (more than 70 million people), or about 16% of the world’s population (1 billion people). In 2022, only 1.9% of speaking characters in the top 100 films had a disability, according to a recent study. When “CODA” — a film that starred multiple actors who are deaf or hard of hearing — won numerous awards, including best picture, in 2022, disabled creatives and advocates had reason to hope: Maybe Hollywood had learned that disability inclusion was, aside from being the “right thing to do,” also business savvy. #AWU #disability #jobs

"Interview Tip"

During the course of an interview it is important to talk about your cultural and organizational fit. Weave it into the conversation where appropriate. Explain how you would be a great fit in the new job.

Establishing your fit doesn’t mean talking up your skills, but convincing the panel you are the right person to join the company.

Make it clear you know what the company does well, offer examples of where you’ve worked well in teams before, and explain how you could contribute to the organization’s mission, goals and achievements. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips

"Interview Tip"

Please do your homework and don't ignore recent company news. Don’t be the only candidate to go into an interview with no idea that the company just completed a major merger or released an anticipated product. Appropriately interjecting recent company news into your conversation with the interviewer makes you stand out.

Make sure you’re aware of any major achievements or challenges to avoid coming across as disinterested. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips
