US job openings declined to 7.44 million in June from a revised 7.71 million in May, according to data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The drop follows two consecutive months of gains and keeps the overall level within a consistent range observed over the past year, suggesting generally stable demand for workers.
The figure came in slightly below the median estimate of 7.5 million in a Bloomberg survey of economists. This data is closely watched by the Federal Reserve as it evaluates the health of the labor market and its impact on inflation. Despite the monthly dip, the steady range indicates that companies are still actively seeking workers amid ongoing economic uncertainty.(ayu)
