U.S. job openings climb to 7.58 million
The numbers: in a sign that companies are still eager to add new employees even with a tight labor market.
The 7.58 million job openings compares to the 6.54 million people in January who were unemployed, taking the ratio of open positions to those who seek them down slightly to 1.16 from 1.19 in December. The big picture: The labor market is still in good health, even with a few other indicators that perhaps it’s moving in the other direction. Jobless claims rose, and nonfarm payrolls growth slowed markedly in February.
