📈 The Job Market Falls, the S&P 500 Rises

Since ChatGPT’s launch, total job openings have dropped sharply while the S&P 500 keeps hitting new highs. It’s a striking image of how technology and capital are reshaping the economy in opposite directions.

🟡 Companies are cutting costs, automating, and shifting toward AI-driven productivity
🟡 Amazon plans to cut 30,000 jobs, with other big tech firms following the same path
🟡 Corporate margins improve even as workers lose stability
🟡 The market is pricing in lower rates, better earnings, and higher efficiency

For investors, this divergence is a reminder that the stock market and the job market don’t move together. Profit often grows when businesses get leaner.

Owning assets means participating in that growth instead of being exposed to its downside. Investing isn’t just about returns, it’s about understanding where value flows in a changing world.
