I am in front of commercial clients, businesses, professional firms and all forms of privately held businesses across the SE on a regular basis. Not seeing any unusual spike in closures or layoffs. That's not to say its not happening but I haven't seen it at a level that would indicate a significant slowing of the economy. If anything, folks are wanting to add good, qualified employees that will work and they can't find them. Anything that in the trades, requires skills or certifications when it comes to construction, sales, heavy mechanic style services and techs. Healthcare and financial services are still strong sectors. Nursing related fields are always in high demand.
