Meanwhile, March, unemployment numbers might have been pretty strong.
But new data from the labor department says that the economic
picture was a little bit less rosy than first appeared.
That's because job openings dropped more than expected in March
with almost 400,000 fewer vacancies than the month prior.
That brings the total number of job openings to its lowest point since April 2021.
So that means instead of two jobs available for every one worker,
the ratio fell to 1.6.
