U.S. job openings dropped in April to the lowest level since 2021, with employers posting 8.1 million vacancies, down from 8.4 million in March. Despite high interest rates and signs of a slowing economy, the job market remains strong with a steady number of job openings. The current level of job openings, which has been above 8 million for 38 consecutive months, reflects a resilient U.S. labor market despite concerns over a recession. The Federal Reserve's efforts to combat inflation have had limited impact on job growth, with the economy continuing to add jobs and the unemployment rate remaining low at 3.9%.
