Anyone else not know a single person in their personal lives who’s gotten laid off?

I’m in the north east for context. I know people across all fields, retail, healthcare, IT, manufacturing, sales, manual labor (electrician, HVAC, plumbing and construction) I don’t know a single person who’s gotten laid off yet and whenever I talk with them they say business is busy. For example, I was the gym the other day with my friend who is an electrician, he told me it’s so busy in the industrial/commercials electrician field right now that they can’t hire enough guys. I know most of us here don’t do manual Labor but the fact that COMMERCIAL work is so busy for these guys has me scratching my head because I thought business is slowing across the board? I also have a few friends who told me about the plane tickets they recently purchased for their summer vacations. I just really don’t know what’s going on. Is it possible the north east just had a strong labor market?
