There has never been a better time to look for a job in the United States, at least according to the reports issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the second month in a row, the number of job openings was greater than the total number of unemployed workers.
According to the May Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, released on July 10, about 600,000 people started looking for a job, meaning they are now counted in official unemployment numbers. In May, the total number of unemployed was 6.56 million, up from 6 million in April. However, the total number of job openings in May was greater, at 6.62 million.
