👉 加入社群领取策略
In August, the number of job openings fell by 256,000.
The total dropped to 7.079 million, the lowest in five months.
The forecast was 7.225 million.
Hiring is basically standing still.
The layoff rate fell to 1.0%, the lowest since March last year.
The quit rate stayed pinned at 1.9%.
Most of the decrease came from small businesses.
The group with 1 to 9 employees saw 335,000 fewer.
Hiring rose by 46,000, reaching 5.192 million.
Nearly all of the increase was in government departments.
Meanwhile, the private sector actually had 1,000 fewer.
On the same day, September consumer confidence was reported at 81.9.
The lowest in more than a decade.
The market’s pricing for a rate hike in October is over 70%.
As vacancies decline, pressure for wage growth should ease a bit.
For crypto, a cooling in employment may suppress real interest rates.
Money is more willing to move into assets with greater flexibility.
But one data point can’t tell the whole story.
Do you think this is a prelude to rate cuts, or the start of a recession? Let’s discuss in the comments.
