<p>A staffing firm Insight Global found that recently unemployed full-time workers applied to an average of 30 jobs, only to receive an average of four callbacks or responses. So why does it feel so hard to get a job right now and is the U.S. labor market as strong as it seems?</p>

<p>In the 2023 American workplace, a new labor market trend took over where quiet quitting left off, quiet cutting. &quot;Quiet cutting is what some people consider a subcategory of quiet firing,&quot; said &#8230;</p>
