Delta Throttles Back on Pilot Hiring

Delta Air Lines plans to hire roughly half as many pilots next year as it did in 2023, the latest sign that a more than two-year-long pilot hiring spree is starting to slow.Major carriers have been hiring pilots at a record clip as they raced to catch up with the rapid rebound in travel demand that followed the Covid-19 pandemic. They hired over 13,000 pilots last year and are on track to bring on nearly as many this year, according to FAPA.aero, a pilot career advisory firm.  Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Need a Job? America’s Smallest Employers Have a Record Share of Openings

America’s tiniest employers have the highest share of job openings on record—more than one in five available positions—a sign the labor market might be tilting toward the little guy.Solid demand for workers from small establishments, such as mom-and-pop businesses and many franchise locations, stands in contrast to a cooling labor market more broadly. It could give smaller businesses a chance to catch up on hiring with less competition from larger companies on pay and benefits, and offer refuge for job seekers as the unemployment rate creeps higher.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
