Job Openings Surge But Hiring Slows
Description
Job openings surged to a five-year high in April, but economists warn it might be misleading—much of the jump came from professional services and could be revised down.

Most new openings are at small businesses, while layoffs ticked up in food services. Overall, both workers and employers are playing it safe—stable but sluggish.
