MAGA! U.S. job openings at record high

[Русский агент]

U.S. job openings rose to a record high in July.

The strong labor market fundamentals could encourage the Federal Reserve to continue tightening monetary policy this year despite inflation persistently running below the U.S. central bank’s 2 percent target.

“Employers need skilled labor and experienced workers, which continues to suggest the economy has returned to a labor market that does not need exceptional support from the Fed,” said John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics in New York.

Job openings, a measure of labor demand, increased by 54,000 to a seasonally adjusted 6.2 million. That was the highest level since the data series started in December 2000.

Job openings have now been above 6 million for two straight months.

Hiring increased 69,000 to 5.5 million in July, lifting the hiring rate to a near high of 3.8 percent from 3.7 percent in June.

Employers may 'need' skilled labor and experienced workers, but they are not hiring Americans for them. There's been job listings for the same job over 8 months in the Dallas area staying unfilled. I think it's a push to increase H1Bs.

As long as they are *legal* immigrants bring them on.

If people are working everyone wins---doesn't always matter who the people are. Increases tax revenues, increases consumer spending, which will lead to even more jobs etc.

Why work when you can sit around on welfare and SSI.

That's basically the theme of her whole book.

Sounds about fair, since they blame everything under the sun on her.

what exactly do we "blame" Hillary for?
besides her own demise
That's ridiculous, we simply asserted she was not fit to be President based on her detachment from reality, and not being able to tell the truth.

I don't know about you personally, but I have heard her blamed for the death of Vince Foster and others.
