  <description>On paper, the economy looks “fine” – low unemployment, positive GDP, and solid job growth – but everyday people are feeling something very different.
They dig into how mass layoffs at big companies are often driven by stock pressure, why underemployment and gig work distort the jobs data, and why it feels like we’ve been in a recession since COVID. They also share personal layoff stories, talk about job insecurity in tech, and why more workers with in-demand skills should think seriously about working for themselves.
