Abstract: Job gains in the U.S. slowed in 2025, due to both supply and demand factors. Although employment is growing at a steady pace in Oklahoma, hiring has slowed recently to historic lows, reflecting reduced labor market churn. This edition of Oklahoma Economist uses data from the Kansas City Fed's manufacturing and services surveys to examine the underlying causes of this hiring slowdown.
