Labor Dept. reports most job openings since 2000 !!!

Trump economy keeps roaring along !!

As job openings reach unprecedented levels, so does quitting

WASHINGTON – U.S. employers advertised the most jobs on record in July, and the number of workers quitting their jobs also hit a new all-time high.

Americans are increasingly taking advantage of a tight labor market to find new, often higher-paying jobs. That could help push up wages broadly across the economy.

The Labor Department said Tuesday that the number of job openings rose 1.7 percent to 6.9 million, the most on record dating back to late 2000. The number of people quitting jumped 3 percent to 3.58 million, also a record. Quits are typically a good sign that jobs are plentiful, because people usually quit when they have another job or are confident they can find one.

/----/ I did read it and it was positive for workers. No longer are they stuck in a dead end Obozo job market. No wonder you see it as a negative.

With the unemployment rate at 3.9 percent, near an 18-year low, businesses are increasingly desperate to find workers. Even as the number of available jobs rose, overall hiring in July was essentially flat, with about 5.7 million people finding jobs, the report showed.

/----/ Where does it say their current wages are very low. If you're making $80k and jump to a $90k job, how does that make the job you left low pay? I agree leaving a $12 hr job for $13 hour is no great shakes. It's all relative. I know you're desperate to pizz on any good news but you gotta do better than that.

Read it and weep sweetie !

Real Wages Are Rising

More evidence that faster growth is flowing to workers.

Most headlines from Friday’s August jobs report concerned the 2.9% increase in wages over the last 12 months, the healthiest raise in some time. That figure was probably overstated due to a weak August 2017 falling off the 12-month comparison, but other data are showing that wages after inflation are finally rising as you’d expect in a tight labor market.

The August numbers reinforced the tightening trend. The unemployment rate stayed at 3.9%, and the rate for black Americans fell to a record low 6.3%; a year earlier the rate for blacks was 7.6%. The number of employed Americans fell, but much of that is explained by students returning to school. The same applies to the August dip in the labor participation rate. Overall the August snapshot shows a labor market in excellent shape, with nearly everyone who wants a job able to get one.
