- You shared a LinkedIn post about a recent interview you did on CNBC. In it, you say: “This is the best jobs market in 25 years. Companies are hiring because they are growing! If you want a job, there is one for you“. If you’ve got the skills and training, exactly how easy is it at the moment for candidates to walk into their next role?
- How tough is it to find and attract top talent?

- In another recent post on LinkedIn, you say “The result of higher wages happening so quickly, with an increase of money in the system, is inflation. Thus, people aren’t seeing more money, even if they are paid more.” Feel free to mention the net effect on the economy but, specifically can you explain if this current bubble of high wages to capture top talent will burst anytime soon?
