Prior month 7.443M (revised to 7.372M)
Job openings 7.744M vs 7.475M expected
Vacancy rate 4.6% versus 4.5% last month
Quits rate 2.1% versus 1.9% last month
Hires 3.3% versus 3.5% last month
Separations rate 3.3% versus 3.3% last month
This is an uptick but in the context of the past year of steadily declining job openings I don’t think it’s going to change any opinions on the Fed. It’s still the second-weakest reading since the pandemic.
