American employers posted fewer job openings in June as the economy contends with raging inflation and rising interest rates.
Job openings fell to a still-high 10.7 million in June from 11.3 million in May, the Labor Department said Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2022.

Job openings, which never exceeded 8 million in a month before last year, had topped 11 million every month from December through May before dipping in June.
