August’s JOLTS Jobs decline to 10.4 million vs. 10.9 million expected

The number of job openings on the last business day of August declined to 10.4, the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced in its latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Summary (JOLTS) on Tuesday.

This report doesn’t seem to be having a significant impact on the U. S. dollar’s performance against its rival currencies. The US Dollar Index was up 0.1% on the day at 90.45.

This reading came in lower than the market expectation of 10.9 million. Hires decreased to 6.3 million while total separations were little changed at 6.0 million.

Job openings decreased in several industries with the largest decreases in health care and social assistance (-224,000).
