Back to EpisodesOpen for Business? Job Openings Report | S2 E063 | 07-29-25
Description
The cracks in the U.S. labor market are starting to show—and the Fed is watching closely. In this episode of Markets with Megan, Megan covers the June JOLTS Report, which revealed a 275,000 drop in job openings and a decline in the quits rate to just 2%.
With fewer people quitting and job openings nearing parity with unemployment, it’s clear: the labor market is cooling. But is it enough for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates?
📊 Key Topics Covered:
- JOLTS Report breakdown (June data)
- What the 1.06 job opening ratio means
- Falling quits rate = falling confidence?
- Why the Fed is likely to hold in July—and possibly in September
- What to watch in the August 1st jobs report
