4 data points in 4 days: what this week’s US releases mean for markets
JOLTS Job Openings — Tuesday, March 31, 2026
Yesterday’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey confirmed the labour market’s low-hire, low-fire dynamic remained firmly intact through February. Job openings came in at 6.9 million, little changed on the month — the more precise figure being 6.882 million, a decrease of 358,000 from the upwardly revised January figure of 7.24 million, and modestly below the consensus forecast of 6.918 million.
