US job openings in May hit 7.8 million in a continuing display of labor market resilience

  • U.S. job openings unexpectedly rose to 7.8 million in May, driven mainly by private sector demand according to the Labor Department.
  • This increase followed a steady decline from a record 12.1 million openings in March 2022, as higher borrowing costs and economic uncertainty persisted.
  • Job openings increased notably in the accommodation, food services, finance, and insurance sectors, while vacancies within the federal government declined sharply—dropping by about half compared to the previous year.
  • The Labor Department reported a 374,000 rise in openings from April’s 7.4 million, despite economists expecting a decrease to 7.3 million jobs.
  • This data suggests resilience in the American labor market, but the split between private growth and federal slowdown reflects structural shifts and ongoing economic uncertainty.
