A report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows that there were 3.2 million job openings in November, unchanged from October. This is still below the 4.4 million job openings that were recorded when the recession officially started in December 2007, though it exceeds by one million the number of openings in July 2009, which was "the most recent trough for the series." According to the report, "The number of job openings has increased 30 percent since the end of the recession in June 2009."
The report notes, "Several industries saw increases in the number of job
openings over the year, while the number of job openings decreased for
finance and insurance, professional and business services, and federal
government. The Midwest and South regions had increases in the number of
job openings and the West experienced a decline over the year."
The BLS Editor's Desk further summarizes, "There were 2.8 million job openings in private industry. Within private
industry, there were 87,000 job openings in construction, and 606,000 in
education and health services."
