The U.S. labor market remained largely steady in November, with job openings holding at 7.1 million and little change in hires and separations, both at 5.1 million. Quits and layoffs rates were also flat, signaling stability in worker confidence and employer decisions.
However, job openings declined in sectors like accommodation and food services, transportation, and wholesale trade, while construction saw an increase. October data was revised more than usual due to a temporary suspension of the alignment procedure, slightly adjusting earlier estimates for openings, hires, and separations.
