U.S. job openings jumped to a record high in June, outpacing hiring, the latest indication that companies are having trouble finding qualified workers.
The Labor Department said on Tuesday that job openings, a measure of labor demand, increased 461,000 to a seasonally adjusted 6.2 million.
That was the highest level since the series started in December 2000 and pushed the jobs openings rate up two-tenths of a percentage point to a near one-year high of 4.0 percent. The monthly increase in job openings was the largest since July 2015.
Hiring was little changed at 5.4 million in June. That left the hiring rate steady at 3.7 percent. The gap between job openings and hiring points to a skills mismatch.

MAGA>>>
But Trump’s approval rating is lowest ever. Yeah, right.
This news turned the stock market positive this morning..look like the tenth high in a row..
Might be time to sell soon??
All the facts about things getting better are all over the place. Now the media, including FOX, keeps reporting a bogus CNN poll about Trump tanking. I don’t believe that for one minute, but I believe the GOPe creeps like Jeb! and the Trump haters are emerging out of their stink holes because they believe these polls.
Try finding candidates who pass the drug test. Or one who can read past the 9th grade. Immigration time! Trumps.
Nice to see President Obama’s policies are finally kicking in.
HA! got ya!!! :)
The people that make America work, and in turn put Americans to work are showing us they have confidence in our 45th president to turn the country around.
All the part time jobs in the world aren't going to turn the U6 number around. Need meaningful jobs.
Don’t think our MSM isn’t trying to find an Obama angle to these numbers.
With all due respect, bunk.
The American jobs situation is a result of other countries having poached American jobs steadily, for over one entire generation.
BOTH PARTIES have been completely sold out, in this process.
Trump seemed to get this. Trump seemed to be one of the only American leaders, who got this.
He has not yet acted upon that, partly because of the North Korea situation, but he’s not going to be in this situation permanently.
But until he does, I will wait for him to do so.
This is why I very early, settled on Trump for President.
He is the only person, who seeks to rebuild our own country’s hiring again.
Everyone else is completely sold out, on this.
Both parties.
It’s not that they can’t find workers, it’s that they still think they can get them on the cheap... Wage offers will go up and hiring will improve. Economics works.
Complete headline should be:
U.S. jobs openings surge to record high in June; Dems and GOPestablish hit hardest.

Tell me about it. I’m 64 YO and truly love my current job, but without a significant pay boost on the horizon am seriously considering retirement.
There are way to many people in the USA. There is a wage shortage and a glut of workers which is what the corporate globalists wanted and got when they bought the GOP.
All without Mitch passing Health Care or Tax Reform
Agreed. Our beloved VA is among the first to tank.
Finally starting to get a “real” recovery. There is a HUGE amount of slack in this economy.
Like all the other positive news of late, they'll simply ignore it.
