JOLTS Employment Opportunities Index

The US market provided nearly 9.931 million job opportunities, while experts expected 10.4 million job opportunities to be provided in March.

Previous readings were revised down to 10.563 million jobs for the month of February.

Employment opportunities data is of great importance as it is an indicator of the state of the US labor market and its ability to keep up with rising interest rates, as Jerome Powell uses US job opportunities a lot when talking about the strength of the US market.

The US job opportunities data was negative, indicating the impact of the US labor market and the beginning of widespread weakness in it, which reinforces the expectations of the US economy falling into recession if the Fed continues its monetary tightening campaign.
Federal decision expectations
