The number of job openings in June hit the highest level since May 2008, rising 3.8% to 3.94 million from 3.79 million a year earlier, according to government data released Tuesday. However, details in the report show little change in the U.S. labor market, which is still short two million jobs compared with the start of the Great Recession.

Indeed, the number of openings during the month as a percent of total employment and openings was unchanged in June, remaining at 2.8%, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s latest report on its job openings and labor turnover survey, otherwise known as the JOLTS report.
