The August Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey from the Federal Reserve:
- US August JOLTS 4835K vs 4700K expected
- Prior was 4673K (revised to 4605K)
- Highest since 2001
JOLTS Job Openings rises to highest level since January 2001
Separately, IBD/TIPP economic optimism was steady at 45.2 in October.
The JOLTS data has saved the dollar for now but I still think this is a big part of the story with ‘job openings’
So you say you have job openings.
