The Labor Department reports the number of job openings in the U.S. fell to a six-month low of 5.88 million in November from 5.93 million in October. The reason for the drop was a late-in-the-year hiring surge. About 5.5 million people were hired and 5.2 million lost their jobs in November. The increase in hiring was the second largest during the current eight-and-a-half-year-old expansion. The peak was in October.
Serving the West Side first, I am Bill Roller of BR Capital for 1360 KUIK.
