Job openings rise in several industries over the year
January 14, 2016
The number of job openings (not seasonally adjusted) increased over the 12 months ending in November 2015 for total nonfarm and total private, and was little changed for government. Job openings rose in several industries over the year with the largest changes in health care and social assistance (+242,000) and accommodation and food services (+129,000).
Job openings decreased over the year in information (−48,000) and mining and logging (−8,000). In the chart, industries above the 45-degree line had more job openings in November 2015 than in November 2014, while those below had fewer openings.
These data are from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey and are not seasonally adjusted. Data for the most recent month are preliminary.
