The job market remains strong despite gradual cooling from pandemic-era highs, according to labor economists — but workers don’t seem to share that outlook.

Employee confidence fell last month to its lowest level since 2016, according to Glassdoor data. About 46% of workers reported a positive six-month outlook for their employers, down from 54% from a year ago.

Meanwhile, the ZipRecruiter Job Seeker Confidence index was down six points in the second quarter to its lowest point since the beginning of 2022.
