Job market's looking pretty rough right now. By certain metrics, we're staring at conditions we haven't seen since 2003—and that's saying something. When you dig into employment figures, the picture gets clearer: hiring's dried up, competition's fiercer, and employers are being selective as hell. This kind of labor market squeeze ripples through everything—consumer spending weakens, investment appetite shifts, and yeah, that includes how people approach crypto and digital assets. When folks are worried about their paychecks, risk appetite tends to tighten. Worth keeping an eye on how these employment trends might shape market dynamics moving forward.

The worst since 2003? Here we go again, singing the doom song.

The consultation records show that the labor market clinical performance has regressed to the 2003 historical level. The symptom "hiring dried up" is very critical; once the capital outflow symptoms are triggered, the liquidity indicators of the entire ecosystem will react in a chain, and the risk appetite will plummet straight down, which cannot be stopped.

Here we go again, the bear market slowdown. My 2003 wave already crashed, and seeing this data now reminds me of the taste of heavy losses back then... No job left, who would still dare to go all-in on crypto? The retail investors are really tightening their belts this time.
