The Q3 labor market ended on a higher note than it started. As the world adjusts to a post-pandemic reality, the labor market has been slow to recover. It will be interesting to see where Q4 ends because this is still a somewhat odd job market.

There may still be a few challenges as the holiday season rolls around because demand has become more unpredictable. But overall, there has been a strengthening of the job market, and appears to be returning to “normal” as we close out Q3.
