The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its
Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, which showed a record 851,000 manufacturing job openings in April, up from 749,000 the month before. NAM Chief Economist Chad Moutray breaks it down for us.
The big picture: “In the larger economy, nonfarm business job openings jumped from 8,288,000 in March to 9,286,000 in April, also a new record,” said Moutray. “In April, 9,812,000 Americans were unemployed, which translates to 1.06 unemployed workers for every one job opening in the U.S. economy, down from 1.17 in March.”
Unreal. 9 million job openings while the government pays 9 million people to sit at home. The government is wrong - AGAIN - and a lot of people have no work ethic. We need to be finished with being enablers.
