September JOLTS

 
The September Job Openings and Labor Turnover report (JOLTS) came in at 3561K, down from the upwardly revised number of 3661K for August. This was also below the expectations of 3653K and marks the lowest reading since April.

The data for
the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey are collected and compiled monthly from a sample of business establishments by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In a monthly survey of business establishments, data are collected for total employment, job openings, hires, quits, layoffs and discharges, and other separations. The JOLTS program covers all private nonfarm establishments such as factories, offices, and stores, as well as federal, state, and local government entities in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
