Job market just showed some real momentum—December hiring hit a three-year peak while layoffs actually contracted.

Fewer pink slips, more hiring means confidence is creeping back. Economic consultancies are flagging this as a significant shift. Worth watching if you're thinking about market cycles and what happens when employment stabilizes.
