WASHINGTON — U.S. employers advertised slightly fewer jobs in August than July, while they filled the most positions in three months, offering a mixed signal for the job market.
The Labor Department said Wednesday that job openings dropped by 32,000 to 3.56 million in August. July’s openings were also revised lower. In a positive sign, employers hired 4.39 million people in August — the most since May.
