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



.

The unemployment rate in my county is 3.6%.

It's 3.3% in neighboring King County where Seattle is.

I have been seeing hiring signs at a lot of businesses around here for a couple of years now.

Anyone who wants a job here can find one easily. The minimum wage is well above the federal level which causes all wages to be higher. We have much higher median income and standard of living.

That is correct the economy is going very strong that I can guarantee to everyone. As I mentioned in other post for 2014 I added 80 employees and last 2 months I added 147 employees. These are high paying jobs 80% are from $95K to $140K the rest around $40K.
There is a shortage of new and old house inventory. Car sales are up, Instruments sales are up and do is other goods are doing very well.
I'm really shocked to read all these negativity when there's a very clear evidence the economy is growing strong.

All fast food and cheep store jobs. No one has the money to go to a nice restaurant so places like McDonalds and Wallmart are hiring. Big Deal! Get the stupid dems out of the white house and watch the nation really get healthy not the BS you are being fed by the feds today.

You do realize you have no data supporting that claim

But hey.....if it makes you feel good

Bush bashers don't you share some responsibility for Bush? I mean its not our fault you couldn't field a candidate capable of beating Bush, that's kind of pathetic really. Second when will you people take responsibility for YOUR actions? Your asshole leaders in the Democratic party did nothing but talk the economy into the ditch from 2007 to 2009, in addition to controlling both houses of congress. It was so bad that a couple months after Obama was sworn in, Bill Clinton had to take the fool aside and tell him to stop with the economic doom and gloom talk already, you won idiot.

I'm as real as you can get. I do not bullshit. I do not need to nor I gain any. I'm a republican but sick and disgusted.
Republicans wannabees? So far I have not heard anything except Hillary Hillary Hillary b/c they are so scared.
We have several vendors that make custom machined parts, sheet metals, harnesses, sub assemblies etc. for us and are all hiring. Not to mention we are not their only customers some of them bought new CNC machines.
Do your self a favor just do a small research about the economy.

I'm happy to hear you are doing well but in my industry which I'm a business owner in, things could not be worse. In 2008 my phone would not stop ringing but now zip zero nada. The banks are still being micro managed from DC which is what caused the economic downturn in the first place.
I need banks to be free to lend again to people they are assured of paying the money back. Home loans ect...
There are many things that the president can do to get the banks lending again but he refuses and so my industry sits and flounders.
This trade bill that is being debated is probably a good thing but Obama won't allow a public viewing of the details so I can't be sure whether it's good or not. And another thing I do my homework...all you did was give an anecdotal example of an improving economy so I'm left to wonder if you actually have done your homework.
We still have millions of people that want to work out of a job or under employed. We have a disaster of a Health care bill stopping new employment in it's tracks. The only real good news in our economy is that all three branches of government will most likely be in the hands of people that know what a good economy looks like and how to get there.

And when jobs began coming back under Bush after the Clinton recession all we heard was "all we get are McJobs."
Yeah, you're a hypocrite.
The truth is the economy sucks, and has sucked for 8 years. Everyone understands this.
