U.S. job openings unexpectedly rose to a fresh record in April, with vacancies increasingly exceeding the number of unemployed workers amid a robust labor market, Labor Department data showed Tuesday.
March’s upward revision made it the first time in data back to 2000 that vacancies exceeded the number of unemployed, a gap of 48,000. That difference grew to 352,000 in April and is poised to keep widening, as the number of unemployed dropped further in May, to 6.07 million.
I believe most Americans are primarily concerned with their economic situation over any other issue. If collusion with Russia, attacks on the Justice Department, immigration policy, health care, equal opportunity, the environment and other issues are far less important than the economy the Republicans will most likely retain both houses of Congress.
The November election will tell us all what Americans think is really important.
