There were 3.7 million job openings on the last business day of

November, unchanged from October, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

reported today. The hires rate (3.2 percent) and separations rate (3.1

percent) also were unchanged in November. This release includes

estimates of the number and rate of job openings, hires, and

separations for the nonfarm sector by industry and by geographic

region.

Job Openings

The number of job openings in November was 3.7 million, unchanged from

October. (See table 1.) The number of openings increased in retail

trade and was little changed in all remaining industries and in all

four regions in November. The level of total nonfarm job openings was

2.4 million at the end of the recession in June 2009. (Recession dates

are determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research.)

The number of job openings in November (not seasonally adjusted) rose

over the year for total nonfarm and total private but was little

changed for government. Job openings increased over the year for

retail trade and for health care and social assistance. The Midwest

and Northeast regions experienced an increase in job openings over the

12 months ending in November. (See table 7.)

In November, the hires rate was unchanged at 3.2 percent. The hires

rate increased in government over the month. The rate was little
