The Hidden Signal in Job Openings by Industry

Job openings are up nationally, but not all industries are hiring equally. Lucas and Luna dig into the JOLTS data released for April 2026, which showed total openings rising to 7.6 million from 6.9 million. They focus on the widening gap between sectors like health care and hospitality — which are adding openings — and manufacturing and tech, where openings have actually declined. The hosts explain why this industry-level divergence is a stronger signal than the headline number, and what job seekers should watch for in the next three months. #JobMarket #JOLTS #HiringTrends #Industries #Healthcare #Manufacturing #Tech #Hospitality #LaborMarket #Employment #CareerAdvice #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #EconomicData #JobOpenings #April2026 #WageGrowth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
