One thought on “U.S. job openings fall to 8.1M, lowest since 2021

  1. If there are 8,100,000 “job openings,” and 234,000 hires per month, that means companies are filling only 2.8% of the available jobs. If they were “true” job openings, you’d assume the other 97.2% of remaining job openings would be an “issue.” Yet, this happens every month. A skeptical person might reasonably wonder whether these “job openings” are “real.”
    FWIW, I think articles about employment would be improved by including the labor participation rate. I know several able-bodied 22-40 year old men staying at home, playing video games, while their wives work. The usual excuse is the cost of child care (yet, the men don’t work nights).
