Job openings hit 14-year high in April

The number of job openings in the U.S. surged to a 14-year high in April in a sign that job growth could strengthen further in coming months, the Labor Department said Tuesday.
Employers posted 5.4 million openings in April, up from 5.1 million in March and the most since labor began tracking the figure in 2000, according to the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey.(JOLTS).
The number of hires fell slightly to 5 million but remained near recent highs.
Labor reported last week that employers added a net 221,000 jobs in April and 280,000 in May as the labor market bounced back after a harsh winter. Tuesday's JOLTS report provides a more detailed view of hiring and employee movements

Good lord, I know. The Walmart, McDonalds, and Meijer are ALWAYS hiring. lol Ever since that ACA passed, part-time jobs are falling off trees.

The local siding and window places, and the cabinet manufacturers laid off all the full timers, they only want part time folks now, and they just can't seem to hold on to enough skilled workers that will do it w/o the benefits. Who needs those jobs now? Medical is no longer a worry, and they only hire part-timers. Skilled part-timers? Go figure. The temp agencies are critically understaffed now. What would solve this dilemma?

Ewww, how about a HUGE influx of immigrants that are dirt poor and don't have mortgages or aren't in debt already? That might do the trick, eh?

And the best part is that most are high end jobs with good pay.

Thank you Mr. President.

Where did it say that WalMart and McDonalds were hiring 5 million people?

Must have missed that part

The Walmart, McDonalds, and Meijer are ALWAYS hiring.

You should be happy then, since they are the only kind of jobs you are qualified for.

Wholesale lumber prices continue to fall,not a good sign,housing starts up some then slip back,these are bell weathers,there is much much room for improvement.

Another indication that the balance of power in the market is shifting toward workers is that there were 1.6 unemployed workers for each job opening in April, down from 1.7 in March and a high of 6.7 in 2009.

According to the report, most of the new jobs are in construction

I wasn't aware that construction jobs pay so poorly

Thank you Mr. President.

According to who? And what was not reported was that according to the same report there was 4.9 million job separations. The percentage of job gains and job losses was at 3.5 percent, a statistical stagnation. Further this report does not allow for seasonal adjustments or for those who both separated and was hired with in the same period.
Job Openings and Labor Turnover Summary

Further if you do additional research you will find that these job gains were for those who made lateral moves within low paying and part time positions according to the Department of Labor. This information shows incredibly low actual job growth. As always USA Today only paints half of the picture, the one that shows the president in the best light.

Regardless...it is still the best estimate in 14 years

They did not change the rules on how it is calculated

Do what? DOes anyone seriously think the economy is just terrific? Every measure sucks. Household income is flat, household wealth is flat. Things are slightly better than they were in 2010 but nowhere near what they were in 2006.

The servileness of the modern American citizen is pathetic. If I happen to get a blow job should I thank Obama for that because it happen under the Obama administration? Thank you mt president for this blow job. I'm sure the girl giving it wouldn't mind hearing that.
