According to a recent report by the government, America's employers posted 9 million job openings in December, signaling the continued resilience of the U.S. job market despite the challenges posed by higher interest rates. This reflects an increase from November's 8.9 million job openings, which was revised upward in the report.
While job openings have gradually decreased since hitting a record high of 12 million in March 2022, they still remain at historically high levels. Prior to 2021, monthly job openings had never surpassed the 8 million mark. This data suggests that despite some fluctuations, the job market in the United States remains robust.
