In September, there was one job opening per unemployed person, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
That's as compared to two jobs per unemployed person in March 2022.
And the economy added just 12,000 jobs in October.
Among the industries that have added the largest number of jobs in 2024 are food services, hospitality and government (leisure and hospitality did see a slight downtick in September).
None are necessarily known for offering high-paying work, but even "those industries you wouldn't think" have six-figure jobs actually do, says John Mullinix, head of growth marketing at Ladders.
