Nearly 5 Jobless Workers Per Opening in August + BLS: Job Openings increase in August, Low Labor Turnover

[mEDITate-OR:
not see how badly outnumbered we are...
assuming, of course, you want a job...

These two charts - one from CR and one from NYT - show a very different view of the same JOLTS report.

What CR points out is that the number of new hires is almost equal to the number of new layoffs - both around 4 million. The problem is that new hires are NOT adding to the work force to re-absorb the people who are unemployed, nor the expansion in the population.
