(Bloomberg) -- Job openings in the U.S. decreased in June from the highest level on record as hiring picked up.
The number of positions waiting to be filled declined by 108,000 to 5.25 million from a revised 5.36 million in May that was the most since data began in 2000, a report from the Labor Department showed Wednesday. The rate of hiring was the strongest this year.
The data signal employers are filling the vacancies they currently have before posting more, as they also wait for more evidence that the U.S. can weather any weakness that ripples from financial shocks abroad.
