June JOLTS shows steady labor trends

Ben Casselman reports that the June JOLTS data indicate a slight decrease in job openings, with hires rising modestly and layoffs remaining largely unchanged.

He notes that beneath these aggregate figures, there is significant movement, but at a broad level, the pattern of low hiring and low firing persists.

Casselman recently highlighted the growing influence of artificial intelligence on the stock market and economic spending in coverage of A.I. market risks. He has also examined the challenges the Federal Reserve faces in communicating future policy after a possible hawkish hold in analysis of Fed decisions. These reports demonstrate his focus on significant shifts across labor and financial markets.
