This week's slate of economic reports will be centered on the labor market, beginning with Tuesday morning's release of the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). Job openings pulled back slightly in June, but remained near May's two-year high, an encouraging sign in the current low-fire, low-hire environment. For July, economists expect job openings to be slightly higher month over month.
The big data point comes on Friday, though, with the release of the August jobs report.
