Softer demand? US job openings fall in June to 9-month low

Al Jazeera  

Job openings in the United States fell by 605,000 to 10.7 million in June, a larger decline than expected. US job vacancies fell in June to their lowest level in nine months, suggesting that labour market tightness may be loosening up a bit amid mounting economic challenges. The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS, released by the US Labor Department on Tuesday, revealed that job openings fell to 10.7 million in June from a higher-than-expected 11.3 million in May. “Layoffs continue to be low in historical terms and high levels of quits signal workers seeking better opportunities,” Elise Gould, senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute, said in a note on Tuesday.
