Recap Around the Street 🧠

Job openings have historically tracked S&P performance; however, the two have recently diverged with the decline in the former implying a revenue slowdown in the latter. Couple points of context: 1) decline in job openings come from peak COVID highs and suggest a slowing market rather than a contracting one and 2) response rate to JOLTS has seen a meaningful decline post COVID so data not as robust this cycle.(Contributed by Benjamin Lavine, CIO at Freedom Investment Management (3D)).
