The August 2025 jobs report just dropped, and it’s clear: the labor market is slowing down. Only +22,000 jobs were added last month, unemployment ticked up to 4.3%, and a new benchmark revision shows the U.S. added 911,000 fewer jobs over the last year than we thought.

But here’s the truth: a slower job market doesn’t mean you can’t land the role you want. In this episode, I break down:

• The latest job numbers and what they actually mean
• Why wages, inflation, and layoffs matter for your job hunt
• Which industries are still hiring and where grads should focus
• The 3 biggest mistakes candidates make in a slower market
• A proven playbook to accelerate your career in 2025 — even when hiring cools
