‌

Why it matters: There are 2.2 million more job openings than unemployed workers.

‌

Details: Hiring and quits remained at the same levels as in September. Businesses continue adding workers, and workers remain confident they can quit their jobs and find other ones easily.

‌

Big picture: A smaller workforce is our new reality. Finding enough workers will be a challenge for businesses around the country and across sectors.
