The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report from the Labor Department on Wednesday was, however, offset by other data showing a measure of prices paid by manufacturers for inputs jumped to the highest level in nearly two years in April.<\/p>\n<p>Falling goods prices were the major driver of the moderation in inflation last year. With price pressures picking up in the first quarter, the surge in input costs is unlikely to be welcomed by policy makers as they wrap up their two-day policy meeting. Fed officials are expected to leave the U.S. central bank&#8217;s benchmark overnight interest rate unchanged in the current 5.25%-5.50% range, where it has been since July.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Continued cooling in the labor market is part of the Fed&#8217;s plan to help return inflation to 2%, with job openings serving as one of the Fed&#8217;s barometers,&#8221; said Mark Streiber, an economic analyst at FHN Financial. &#8220;While it is too early to say that the easy goods disinflation we experienced in 2023 is over, upward pressure on goods is an unwelcome development for the Fed.&#8221;<br \/>\nJob openings, a measure of labor demand, were down 325,000 to 8.488 million on the last day of March, the lowest level since February 2021, the Labor Department&#8217;s Bureau of Labor Statistics said. Data for February was revised slightly higher to show 8.813 million unfilled positions instead of the previously reported 8.756 million.<br \/>\n00:08<\/p>\n<p>Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 8.686 million job openings in March. Vacancies peaked at a record 12.0 million in March 2022. There were 1.32 job openings for every unemployment person in March, down from 1.36 in February. March&#8217;s decline in job openings was led by construction, with 182,000 fewer unfilled positions. Vacancies decreased by 158,000 in finance and insurance. But job openings rose by 68,000 in state and local government education.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/us\/us-private-payrolls-beat-expectations-april-2024-05-01\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/us-job-openings-at-3-year-low-as-demand-for-labor-eases\/\">US job openings at 3-year low as demand for labor eases<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,14362,2023,574],"class_list":["post-130115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-job-opening","tag-low","tag-us"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130115\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
