Last month, 263,000 new vacancies appeared in the U.S. labor market, which is slightly less than the number of available jobs recorded the month before that. The hiring rate remains quite stable because the unemployment rate has fallen to 3.5%. Since the previous actions taken by The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) have had less influence on the labor market than expected, investors’ hopes that the FOMC members will refuse to tighten monetary policy anytime soon were dashed.
