Workers are "Job Hugging"
why is it the new career move....

Welcome to Fintech Wire — your quick guide to what’s shaping finance and tech today.
What we’ll cover today:
🏦 Fed’s quarter-point cut and Trump’s bigger push
🤝 Why “job hugging” is the new career move
📊 Market bets on more cuts ahead

The U.S. Federal Reserve, led by Jerome Powell, meets this week to decide interest rates while juggling political drama from Trump.
🚨 Breaking News:
The Fed is set to cut rates by 0.25%, but Trump and new Fed governor Stephen Miran want bigger cuts now.
⚡ Wire Simplified
Fed likely to lower rates by just 0.25%
Trump says “Cut more!” and pushes Powell for aggressive moves
New Fed governor Miran may dissent, adding spice to the vote
Markets expect more cuts in October and December
Powell’s press conference could hint at future moves
✔️ Straight to the Point
The Fed will likely trim rates slightly, but political pressure and internal splits mean the drama is only heating up.
🎤 Do you trust Powell to stay neutral despite Trump’s pressure? |

Workers and companies in the U.S. are clinging to jobs like kids to candy, as hiring slows and uncertainty grows.
🚨 Breaking News:
The “quits” rate is at its lowest since 2016, showing people are staying put, but career coaches warn against complacency.
⚡ Wire Simplified
Job hopping is out, “job hugging” is in
Workers fear layoffs in a cooling job market
Companies also cling to workers, avoiding hiring costs
Staying put could backfire if you stop growing skills
Best advice: build networks, learn, and “pivot in place”
✔️ Straight to the Point
Job hugging feels safe now, but without skill growth and networking, workers may miss future opportunities when the market recovers.

The interest rate for most checking accounts is 0% in Canada. That makes zero sense.
So, from today, all Canadians can earn 4.1% uncapped rewards on USDC on Coinbase, and up to 4.5% with Coinbase One.🇨🇦
