Christine Hudak:
Palmer: Are things tougher in the cs job market?
Hudak: Trump's back and forth with Obama care is causing companies to wait and see what's going to happen until they start hiring and laying off and what not .
Metaphor: If a bill was going to be passed that would make it illegal for you to drive in 2018, would you buy a car now?
Those present: Definitely not.
Jobs are available but companies aren't in confidant positions, so they are more hesitant with hiring.
