The giddy atmosphere of more jobs than people to fill them has led to some of the lowest unemployment numbers ever.

But I believe Feb 12 2020 was the end of the bull market which began in  1982.

The stock market typically leads the economy by about nine moths. So the reality will set i by year end.

While jobs have been plentiful, expect the calculus to change. Soon more will be demanded of those applying for positions.

During the  2008 meltdown for example, one major CPA firm i Dallas simply let all new hires go who did not have  a CPA simple as that.

I have talked a great deal about the importance of a certifcation. In a down market it will not be optional, it will be required.
