The labor market remains tight, with claims in the lower end of their 194,000 to 265,000 range for this year. The UAW last week launched a targeted strike against Ford, GM and Stellantis, impacting one assembly plant at each company. It has threatened to broaden the work stoppages, which for now only involve about 12,700 of the affected 146,000 UAW members.
