Job openings surpass unemployed level

Mike Konczal compares the current labor market to 2025, stating that job openings now outnumber the unemployed.

He observes that this shift appears to be driven by developments affecting both the supply of and demand for workers.

Konczal previously argued that the OBBBA contributed to a larger U.S. deficit and resulted in major spending cuts, according to his analysis in a prior article. He has also explored the methods used for software weighting in CPI and PCE, addressing their practical implications in another report. These contributions reflect his ongoing focus on policy and economic metrics.
