Desk note: this article threads three Unusual Whales data points, one Challenger, Gray & Christmas layoff tally carried via Unusual Whales, and a State Department advisory carried by The Epoch Times. Wire coverage of the housing gap and the AI layoff series has been thinner than the underlying data warrants; Monexus connected them in a single frame rather than treating each as its own silo.
