The job market continued to normalize in September:
Unfilled job demand—openings minus hires—has receded from its 2022 peak and dropped another 430,000 last month. It's now close to its normal pre-pandemic level.
Note that unfilled job demand is the main driver of migrant surges into the US, so this is good news for the likelihood of illegal immigration remaining low.
C'mon. Are you so stubborn that you can't use the same metric economists use, V/U?
This is a different measure, and probably a better one since it directly uses job openings instead of a proxy like unemployment. That said, they both show roughly the same thing.
Also, the JOLTS numbers were released today, so I put up a JOLTS-related chart.
Wonder what the error bar would be since I assume job openings are based on postings and we already know many larger companies inflate their openings. Perhaps it's small enough against the overall volume to not matter.
