Job Openings Rose in September

“The nation’s extreme shortage of job seekers worsened in September, the Labor Department reported Tuesday, after dropping sharply the previous month,” the New York Times reports.

“Employers had 10.7 million positions open as summer ended, up from 10.3 million in August. That leaves the ratio of unemployed workers to posted jobs at 1.9, a persistently high level even as the economy appears to be decelerating because the Federal Reserve is working to quell inflation.”
