Employers are moving toward a hiring slowdown, signaling a labor market reversal after a spring surge, according to NYT Business.

The outlet says the summer backdrop included higher prices and greater uncertainty for businesses, which led them to balk at new hiring even as they tried to avoid layoffs.

The shift points to a weakening labor momentum that could matter for broader economic expectations as firms weigh demand and costs, NYT Business reports.
