Key points
- The number of job openings was unchanged at 7.7 million in October, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
- Over the month, both hires and total separations were little changed at 5.1 million.
- The number and rate of job openings were unchanged at 7.7 million and 4.6 percent, respectively, in October.
- The quits rate increased in establishments with 5,000 or more employees, while the job openings, hires, layoffs and discharges, and total separations rates showed little change.
- Because new and short-lived universe establishments cannot be reflected in the sampling frame immediately, the JOLTS sample cannot capture job openings, hires, and separations from these establishments during their early existence.
