2026.06.0214:02:48UTC+00US Job Openings Highest since Nov 2024

Job openings in the US rose by 731,000 to 7.618 million in April 2026, the highest level since November 2024 and well above market expectations of 6.88 million. The data underscore the continued strength of the labor market despite mounting energy costs linked to the Iran conflict. Vacancies increased sharply in professional and business services (+668,000) but declined in finance and insurance (-135,000). By region, job openings grew in the Northeast (+133,000), the South (+171,000), and the West (+439,000), while slipping in the Midwest (-11,000). Over the month, both hires and total separations edged down, to 5.1 million and 5.0 million, respectively. Within separations, quits (3.0 million) and layoffs and discharges (1.7 million) were little changed.
