U.S. job openings barely grew in November
WASHINGTON – U.S. employers advertised about the same number of jobs in November as in October, suggesting hiring will stay modest over the next few months.
Job openings ticked up 11,000 last month to 3.67 million, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's about 12 percent more than were advertised in the same month a year ago.
The number of available jobs is slowly climbing back to the roughly 4 million that were advertised each month before the recession began in December 2007.
