The unemployment rate in America stood at 3.7 percent in August, with twice as many job openings as unemployed workers available to fill the positions. Layoffs are also near a record low in recent weeks, but there are signs that the labor market may be declining.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biggbyfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-less-turnover-smaller-raises-hot-job-market-may-be-losing-its-sizzle-2720211" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">BIGGBY Coffee</a>’s founder and CEO,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-biggby?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-less-turnover-smaller-raises-hot-job-market-may-be-losing-its-sizzle-2720211" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Mike McFall</a>, recently spoke with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/03/business/economy/job-market-recession.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-less-turnover-smaller-raises-hot-job-market-may-be-losing-its-sizzle-2720211" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">New York Times</a> to discuss this nationwide labor trend.Recently, the coffee brand saw staffing shortages so severe that many of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biggby.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-less-turnover-smaller-raises-hot-job-market-may-be-losing-its-sizzle-2720211" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">BIGGBY Coffee</a>’s franchises had to close early some days or not even open at all.
