American businesses have a lot of "we're hiring" signs up.
There were 5.4 million job openings in the U.S. in April -- the highest number of openings in 15 years.
It is a record high since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking monthly job openings in December 2000.
The surge in job openings this spring was even better than expected, according Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at the Lindsey Group.
It's another sign that the economy appears to be rebounding and the winter slowdown was just a blip.
Who's hiring? Over the past year, health care, business services and social assistance have seen the most openings. That trend continued in April with an uptick in health care positions.
Business across America are looking for employees, although the biggest increases in vacancies recently have been in the west.
The main industry that continues to struggle is mining and logging, which was hit hard by the dramatic decline in oil and other commodity prices in late 2014 and early 2015.
