Are we really in a recession or are tech companies (and their investors) just freaking out?

According to reports, the US unemployment rate remains at 3.6%, 372,000 jobs were created. Professional services, research, and management fields all grew. With the summer in full effect, transportation, leisure, and hospitality also trended in the right direction.


While major tech companies (FAANGs) and speculative industries like finance and crypto took huge hits, people are still working, companies are still hiring. I think this is more of a correction because of the rapid growth these companies tried to force and now people who got in are being forced out.


Hopefully everyone lands in a great spot. I'm hopeful things will improve in the Fall.

I feel like it really wasn’t, but then these companies decided to let go of dead weight employees under the guise of “market conditions”

So essentially now turning it into one.
