Vorbote für Daten am Freitag? US-Arbeitsmarkt: JOLTs schwächer als erwartet

Neue Daten vom Arbeitsmarkt der USA: Die JOLTs (angebotene Stellen in den USA im Juli) liegen mit 7,181 Millionen unter der Erwartung (Prognose war 7,380 Millionen; Vormonat war 7,437 Millionen, nun auf 7,357 Millionen nach unten revidiert).

Die Daten sind schwächer als erwartet, auch die Revision des Vorminots ist auffallend. Die Daten stammen jedoch aus dem Juli und sind daher nur begrenzt aussagekräftig mit Blick auf die am Freitag kommenden großen US-Arbeitsmarktdaten (aus dem August).

Dazu schreibt das BLS:

The number of job openings was little changed at 7.2 million in July, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. Over the month, both hires and total separations were unchanged at 5.3 million. Within
separations, both quits (3.2 million) and layoffs and discharges (1.8 million) were unchanged.

This release includes estimates of the number and rate of job openings, hires, and separations for the
total nonfarm sector, by industry, and by establishment size class. Job openings include all positions that
are open on the last business day of the month. Hires and separations include all changes to the payroll
during the entire month.
