Front-line workers in the U.S. are experiencing anxiety, anger, and stress due to changes in global trade policy, according to a report from UKG.
More than half of the workers fear possible lay-offs, and a high percentage believe tariffs will impact their future earnings and hurt 'Main Street' more than 'Wall Street.'
The uncertainty caused by the 90-day tariff pause has made workers more nervous, stressed, and angry about potential job implications.
Despite the current stability of the labor market, there is a decrease in consumer sentiment and a rise in job insecurity among workers, particularly in the tech industry where layoffs are expected due to outdated skill sets.
