Job Openings in the U.S. Increased in June, but the Rise in Job Openings Was Accompanied by an Increase in the Number of Workers Who Quit Their Jobs

At the end of June, there was a significant number of job openings in the U.S., about 5.9 million jobs created. Even with a slight decline in construction, more than 70,000 job openings were still recorded. Furthermore, in June, the number of hires decreased to 6.7 million (-503,000), the second highest level in the series history, with the series high occurring in May of this year.

Despite the reported increase in job openings by the Department of Labor this Monday, job openings remained below pre-pandemic levels, sustaining the view that the labor market may take years to recover from the public health crisis.

“Perhaps the increase in job openings is less about adding workers, but filling positions left by workers who quit due to virus concerns, lack of childcare options, or similar reasons,” said Nick Bunker, research director at the Even Hiring Lab.
