10 Jun 2015 Evaluate

With 8.55 million unemployed people in April, there were about 1.6 potential job seekers per opening, below March’s ratio of 1.7. In April 2014, there were about 2.2 potential seekers per opening.

Meanwhile, small-business sentiment improved in May. The National Federation of Independent Business small-business optimism index rose 1.4 points to 98.3, the highest level since December, as six of ten components improved. That puts the index in line with its historical average of 98. US wholesale inventories rose 0.4% in April. This was above expectations of a 0.2% gain.
