WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Labor said there were 3.4 million job openings on the last business day of December, a three-year high.
While job openings rose from November's figure of 3.1 million, available jobs aren't high by historic standards. In December 2007, as the recession began, there were 4.4 million job openings listed.
