The number of job openings decreased in finance and insurance (-80,000). (See table 1.) Hires In February, the number and rate of hires were unchanged at 5.4 million and 3.4 percent, respectively. The number of hires was little changed in all industries in February. (See table 2.) Separations Total separations include quits, layoffs and discharges, and other separations.

Layoffs and discharges are involuntary separations initiated by the employer. Other separations include separations due to retirement, death, disability, and transfers to other locations of the same firm. No sign of any hiring reacceleration in the JOLTS series for February. Job openings continue to grind lower. There were 1.07 openings for every worker counted as unemployed in February, little changed from the recent trend. Hiring and firing held steady.
