One researcher says that while the recent layoffs are concerning, California's "labor market as a whole is still really healthy."The clothing company Gap says they will eliminate 500 corporate jobs in San Francisco and New York. The news has many concerned about a possible recession.
Last week, American Airlines said that more than 400 flight attendants from the Bay Area would be relocated to other states. "In the old days they called it layoffs, now they call it restructuring," said ABC 7 News insider Phil Matier. "COVID is over but now we have uncertain economic times. I don't care whether you're tech, airlines, or clothing, it all spells the same thing, tighten your belt and get smart on where your money is and your workers."
Kropp says the overall economy may have slowed down but, "The reality is, the labor market as a whole is still really healthy and strong in comparison to any sort of historical norm outside of the great resignation time period."

It should come as little surprise considering how ubiquitous these busy and social insects are and the fact that they have thrived since the age of dinosaurs, with the oldest-known ant fossil dating back about 100 million years to the Cretaceous Period. 'Ants certainly play a very central role in almost every terrestrial ecosystem,' said entomologist Patrick Schultheiss of the University of Würzburg in Germany and the University of Hong Kong, co-lead author of the study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
