Not so long ago, workers finally had the upper hand and were celebrating a post-Covid jobs boom, where almost all roles were in-demand and some decent salary rises could be negotiated.
Now, the chat down the pub is more likely to be about redundancies, recruitment freezes and endless rejections that can end with someone accepting a lower salary and position just to get a job.
It will almost certainly swiftly also turn to artificial intelligence and its threat to employment, particularly the white collar kind.
But can you AI-proof a career, are the machines really coming for our jobs and what are the roles that are in hot demand at the moment?
On this podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert dive into the employment market and look at the list of the 30 most in-demand roles to see what they can uncover.
Plus, is Rachel Reeves being irresponsible in allowing another pension tax-free lump sum rush to occur, if she isn't going to stage a Budget raid?
Why is Lee not happy about his football club and cash?
What did the team discover after a shout out to listeners to tell them about mystery flight delays?
And finally, if you don't get unlimited Yorkshire puddings with a pub roast, can you really go to Trading Standards?
