Us Job Openings Rise To 14-year High; Job Quits, Hiring Up

Employers also filled more jobs and more employees quit, two additional signs of an improving labor market. More quits are a sign of confidence in the labor market, because people typically quit when they have another job lined up, usually at higher pay, or are optimistic that they can find a new position. The figures echo last week's monthly employment report, which showed that businesses are adding jobs at a robust pace and even paying more to attract workers.
