Job Openings Surged to 7.6 Million What That Really Means

The April JOLTS report showed job openings jumping to 7.6 million, the highest in nearly two years. Lucas and Luna dig into what's behind the surge—sector by sector—and why it doesn't necessarily mean the labor market is overheating. They examine the split between white-collar and blue-collar openings, the role of energy inflation in reshaping hiring, and what the data says about the Fed's next move. Plus, they connect the dots to the falling 10-year yield and sticky core PCE, asking whether the job market is actually stronger or just more distorted. A must-listen for anyone trying to read the tea leaves on rates, recession, and the war-driven economy. #JOLTS #JobOpenings #LaborMarket #FederalReserve #Inflation #CorePCE #10YearYield #EnergyInflation #IranWar #Hiring #WhiteCollar #BlueCollar #EconomicData #Macro #RateCuts #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MacroTuesdays Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
