On an industry basis, the biggest drops in job openings came in retail, which decreased by 139,000, and construction, which was down 112,000.
"Common sense should tell you that indeed, after an eleven-year run of economic growth that many companies have hired all the help they need for now," Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUFG Union Bank, said in a note. "Today's sharp reduction in jobs available may be telling us that the economy has finally reached full employment."
The quits rate, or the total employees who left voluntarily, rose for the month by 39,000, though the rate as a measure of workers stood unchanged at 2.3% from October. The quits rate is considered a strong gauge of worker mobility as it reflects confidence that employees can find other work. Separations also were little changed, with a drop of 4,000 keeping the rate at 3.7%. Layoffs and discharges fell 46,000 and the rate declined to 1.1%.. The JOLTS data has a one-month lag, so December's job openings are not available.
