The tight US labor market started to show signs of loosening in August. The number of job openings dropped to 10.1 million from 11.2 million in July.

The tight US labor market started to show signs of loosening in August. The number of job openings dropped to 10.1 million from 11.2 million in July, according to data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s the lowest total since June 2021.

The latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS, showed that the decrease in available jobs means that there are now almost 1.7 positions open for every person looking for one, down from two openings per job seeker in July. The decline is likely welcome news to the Federal Reserve, which wants more slack in the labor market out of concern that tight employment could push up wages and ultimately keep inflation elevated. This story is developing and will be updated.

Solidarity with people of Iran. Death to IRGC.

Most of these 1.1M jobs were taken off of the market because of the poor economy & not loosening the job market.

Property owner close to wall said National Guardsman shot at Eagle Pass border checkpoint in Del Rio Sector. This area has a lot of smuggling and police pursuits. smugglers carrying AK-47 rifles. influx of armed smugglers that never stops. You never talk about this.

Is Biden going to take credit for that like he did for “the greatest job recovery in history “ lol

10M open jobs from 11.2. Does it matter ? America can’t fill open at this point.

Typical CNN. Acting like the economy isn't way better now than under the 'other guy' to trash Biden and Dems before midterms.

Kamala Harris said hurricane relief should be based on equity despite all Americans suffering. Why the silence from you? New CEO same old garbage reporting to support your Dem party masters.

Large law enforcement presence at Eagle Pass border checkpoint in Del Rio Sector as property owner near wall said National Guardsman shot. Lots of smuggling in this area & pursuits by cops. Smugglers armed with AK-47s. Constant flow of armed smugglers. You never cover this.

Pain Between COVID19 & 2008, M2 has gone from $8TR to $22TR. First it needs to come down before focusing on its growth rate. Fed sitting on $9Tr.Assets is not conducive to controlling Inflation. Too many $$$ floating. Interest rates alone can not restrain Consumer Spending.
