US JOLTS job openings 7.744M vs 7.475M expected

• Prior month 7.443M (revised to 7.372M)
• Job openings 7.744M vs 7.475M expected
• Vacancy rate 4.6% versus 4.5% last month
• Quits rate 2.1% versus 1.9% last month
• Hires 3.3% versus 3.5% last month
• Separations rate 3.3% versus 3.3% last month

This is an uptick but in the context of the past year of steadily declining job openings I don’t think it’s going to change any opinions on the Fed. It’s still the second-weakest reading since the pandemic.
