Job openings fall to lowest level since January 2021
Job openings fell more than expected in September. The data comes as investors closely watch for signs of further cooling in the labor market ahead of the Federal Reserve's next interest rate decision on Nov. 7.
New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Wednesday showed that there were 7.44 million jobs open at the end of September, a decrease from the 7.86 million seen in August and the lowest level of job openings since January 2021.
