After a modest slowdown in job openings which started in September and continued through November, today's November JOLTS report - Janet Yellen's favorite labor market indicator - for the month of December showed an unprecedented surge in job openings across most categories as the year wound down, with the total number soaring from an upward revised 7.166 million (from 6.888 million), to an all time high 7.335 million, smashing expectations of a 6.846 million print.

It'll be awhile.   Opportunity is not what Dems have in mind when they advocate goodies for those "unwilling" to work.

Well I hope so, Blizzard just laid off 800 employees at their Irvine, CA campus and my son was one of them, he's a tech writer. Seems that when you have games in production but haven't actually released a new one in years it has a negative effect on profits, who knew! My son says it also has to do with Activision business model.

Now would be a really good time to look at welfare reform. Kill several birds with one stone.
