Because the economy has added more than 300k jobs in 3 single months over the past year. If you go back to the beginning of 22, that number goes up to 9.

While 300k jobs sounds like a big number, represents a small fraction of our economy. It doesn't even account for 0.2% of total employment. And that's over a year.

That being said, I'm glad I snagged my job when I did and that I'm being treated like I'm excelling at it.
