美国5月职位空缺增加，招聘人数破纪录

据劳工部周二公布的职位空缺和劳动力流动调查(JOLTS)显示，5月空缺职位数从4月份的500万增至540万。职位空缺的增加主要集中在住宿和食品服务业、零售业和建筑业。包括裁员和辞职在内的离职人数在5月份骤减了583万。裁员和离职率从4月的5.9%降至1.4%，已经接近大流行之前的1.2%。雇用人数（其中包括重新雇用的员工）创纪录地激增244万人，达到650万人的历史最高水平。雇佣率从3.1%跃升至前所未有的4.9%。

然而，由于许多行业的需求只是在逐步建立，许多工人仍然处于这场大流行病引发的经济衰退中。对失业者来说，找工作仍然是一个巨大的挑战。5月份，有3.9万名失业者在竞争职位空缺。这凸显了当前劳动力市场的不景气，与前两年职位空缺超过失业人数的趋势形成鲜明对比。

The number of available positions rose to 5.4 million during the month from 5 million in April, according to the Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS, released Tuesday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for 4.5 million openings. Job openings that involve workers recalled from layoffs or positions that are only offered internally are not counted in the figure. The increase in job openings was concentrated in accommodation and food services, retail, and construction. Separations, which include layoffs and quits, plummeted by 5.83 million in May. The rate of layoffs and discharges dropped to 1.4% from 5.9% in April and closer to the pre-pandemic rate of 1.2%. The number of hires, which does include rehired employees, surged a record 2.44 million to an all-time high of 6.5 million. The hires rate jumped to an unprecedented 4.9% from 3.1%. Finding work remains incredibly challenging for the jobless. There were 3.9 unemployed workers competing for every job opening in May. That underscores the current slack in the labor market and stands in stark contrast to a two-year trend in which vacancies exceeded the number of unemployed.  source
