Affordability remained front and center in the minds of consumers. Rising inflation, for instance, led to less spending by lower-income households, the Fed said.

Winter storms, meanwhile, discouraged shoppers from going to retail stores, while economic uncertainty largely tied to tariffs also weighed on growth.

The good news? Businesses expected better times ahead.

It's always sad to see people lose their jobs. Especially this year with the jobs market as it is.

Then it's tough to have to fill in the gaps after.
Due to of changes, I've lost 2 parole and had one quit, so I'm at half my previous staff and only have one open backfill position.

How did that work out for us ?
