The labor market is a critical indicator of economic health, and any signs of weakness could lead to further Fed intervention. This suggests a cautious approach to growth stocks, particularly as companies are pulling back on spending, which could decrease future earnings. Investors might consider defensive stocks or sectors that hold up better in economic slowdowns.
