Yeah, this is a jolts report that we get every single month, and it precedes oftentimes the jobs report that we'll get later in the week.
But this jolts report essentially revealed that there are fewer jobs available than those that are looking for those jobs.
So in the month of July, it reveals that there are 7.18 million jobs open and there are 7.2 million people who are unemployed looking.
for jobs, so a little less than one job per person.
And what this really signals is that there is starting to be a softening in the labor market, which very much starts to back up what we saw in July's jobs report, which showed a weakening of hiring, just 73,000 jobs added in the month of July, which led to President Donald Trump firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out that monthly report.
Now, this report should be taken sort of as a brushstroke in a painting of what we're looking at in the U.S.
economy.
But where jobs, job openings are versus where they are not comes across a multitude of sectors.
So health care and social assistance, fewer jobs there by 181,000.
Retail and trade, also fewer job openings in that sector by 110,000.
Mining and lodging, fewer jobs
by 13,000.
And then you can see there are pickups in construction, manufacturing and wholesale.
As I mentioned, Brianna, this report, this jolts report is just before the big jobs report on Friday, which will tell us just how many jobs were added in the month of August.
I'm nervous now.
I'm Sarah McBride.
Well, let's be clear that House Democrats in previous Congresses have introduced and passed through the House nonpartisan gerrymandering reform.
And Republicans voted against it.
And it never made it all the way through.
Okay.
