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

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

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

Of course they change how these things are calculated. Don't be obtuse.

Link? It would suck if you were caught lying about the JOLTS calculation having changed after two other people have been caught lying in this topic so far.

wow you guys are really proving the gop myth " if the right didn't do it it never happened.

Lord...after eight years of listening to nonexistent complaints about 4.3% unemployment.

4.3% unemployment is considered full employment. I don't recall hearing anyone complaining about it, except for the aforementioned claims all those jobs were McJobs.

It's funny what happens when you roll that chart back prior to when you all came out of your comas.

This is total bullshit and you know it. There are millions of Americans who have given up on finding work, millions of Americans who earn less than they used to, millions of Americans who work part-time when they want to work full time.

Obama didn't create the recession, but he has made zero effort to try to end it. He has had his handful creating Obamacare, which most Americans didn't want, running guns to drug lords, and allowing millions of illegals to swamp our country and use up its resources. Obama has no time to help Americans get back on their feet.

You complained when the unemployment rate was 3.5% under Bush too. You'd complain no matter what happened if a Republican were president. Becaue you are partisan hack.

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?

Oh my, the housing industry is still weak? From its collapse during the Bush disaster, aka the Bush presidency?

So pull the booosh instead of address the post, thats what hacks do when they have nothing ,how many years has he been gone now?

You just gave a good definition of the U6 figure.

The percentage of the labor force that does not have a job, or is part-time employed and would like full-time employment. Unlike U3, the U6 unemployment rate expands the definition of the labor force to include "discouraged workers"

As you can see from my previous post, it is YOU who is spouting total bullshit.

Of course they change how these things are calculated. Don't be obtuse.

Still waiting on that evidence the JOLTS figure has been changed in the way it is calculated.

Total bullshit on your part. But that is all you have on this board isn't it?

Nobody complains about 3.5% unemployment

 

[SuperDemocrat]

If it didn't happen under a republican president it didn't happen at all. This didn't happen under a republican president. 5.5% unemployment rate as a high. Never happenned. Biggest f'n debt ever! Never happenned.

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.

false . it's much better than 2007 thru 2014 .
2006 is meaningless considering that a year later bush and the repubs fucked us in the ass.
the reality is the recovery has taken this long because you asshats have either fought the president on just about everything or done jack shit.
besides you are so fucked up that anything that does not conform to your pov is wrong.

oh yeah you should have heard my wife she got caught in that bush's hijinks just about killed the engineering business.

 

[daws101]

about 5% of the population need to be unemployed to keep the economy stable
Each month, more people join the working age population than retire or die. Consequently, the economy needs to add about 180,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth.
