So far, until the big layoffs start hitting everywhere, this doesn't feel like a recession. I'm guessing once the tech companies start laying off, it will have an effect throughout the economy due to their higher salaries. If this does occur, California will be in big trouble.

I think this is the right take. The big layoffs haven’t even started yet, so the rebound in hiring is several months away.

It feels like hiring has barely slowed down. It reminds me of 2020 when a bunch of layoffs happened then everything was fine
