Job openings levels by industry, March 2012
There were 3.7 million job openings on the last business day of March, little changed from February but
up significantly from a year earlier.
[Chart data]
The number of total nonfarm job openings has increased
by 1.3 million since the end of the recession in June 2009.
The number of job openings in March increased over the year for total
nonfarm, total private, and government. Job openings also increased over the year for manufacturing, retail trade, health care and social assistance, and state
and local government.
These data are from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey and are preliminary. To learn more, see "Job Openings and Labor Turnover — March 2012" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-12-0892.
