Job openings grew again in July, as more than 190,000 positions opened up since June. The total number of job openings rose to 4,301,384, the highest so far this year, according to the Simply Hired trend tracker.
A rise in openings could mean hiring will pick up in the coming months. “It typically takes one to three months to fill a job,” reports the Associated Press.
