About today’s job number…
This just in: 512,400 jobs added in July.
????The real takeaway is the 3:1 ratio of Non-Office Dork jobs to Office Dork jobs.????
Office Dorks is what I’ve always called, well, us. The LinkedIn target audience. I probably need to update that to “Home Office Dorks” but it just doesn’t roll off the tongue.
Let’s look at the breakdown, shall we?
Non-Office Dorks
Mining/logging 7000
Construction 32000
Manufacturing 30000
Wholesale 10500
Retail 21600
Transportation/warehousing 20900
Utilities 400
Education & health 122000
Leisure & hospitality 96000
????Total 340400
Office Dorks
Information 13000
Financial 13000
Professional/businesses 89000
????Total 115000
(Government had another 57k but we all know they don’t do any real work. Relax I’m kidding. Probably.)
Meanwhile, LinkedIn feeds are still flooded with high-tech company layoff news. Daily.
My takeaway?
????We are witnessing sector rotation in the labor market.
We need more people building real things.
We don’t need as many people making software to help to run the software that supports the software that sells your software.
This month, anyway.
There’s lots of business and career opportunities out there. They just may not be what you expected.

Repeat after me: do not talk politics at work. Or on LinkedIn.
Or in job interviews. Or on first dates. Or at Thanksgiving dinner.
Unfortunately for those of us in the business world, 2025 ruined it. There’s just no way around the fact that tariffs are the issue driving the business climate right now. Every client, candidate, and partner is asking about it—or struggling because of it.
So maybe, just maybe, talking policy isn’t just okay—it’s necessary. Dare I say, productive.
So get ready for a little nuance from Jeff Smith and James Hornick in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 107, “Talk Policy, Not Politics”
