New Week, New Headlines: The Job Market Is Shrinking, Will the Modern Worker Act Kill Full-Time Work, and Is Religion at Work Getting a Green Light?

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail This week, we’re breaking down three headlines that could reshape the American workplace: The job market cool-down continues, with new JOLTS data showing longer unemployment durations and more people dropping out of the job hunt altogether. ️ The Modern Worker Employment Act could redefine what it means to be an “employee” - and put traditional full-time roles at risk. ️ A new Trump-era memo gives federal workers the green light to evangelize at work. Is this the start of a new wave of religious expression in corporate spaces? From layoffs to labor laws to religion in the breakroom - we’ve got thoughts. If you care about where work is headed, this one's for you. #JobMarket2025 #Layoffs #ModernWorkerAct #GigEconomy #WorkplaceReligion #EmploymentLaw #FutureOfWork #HRNews #LaborMarket #YourWorkFriends #WorkplaceTrends Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered professional advice.
