WASHINGTON - U.S. job openings rebounded sharply in March, while the pace of hiring was little changed, pointing to a growing worker shortage that could slow employment growth this year. Job openings, a measure of labor demand, surged by 346,000 to a seasonally adjusted 7.5 million, the Labor Department said in its monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS, on Tuesday. There was an increase in vacancies in the construction and transportation industries.

The job openings rate rose to 4.7 percent from 4.5 percent in February. Hiring was little changed at 5.7 million in March. The economy created 263,000 jobs in April, with the unemployment rate dropping two-tenths of a percentage point to 3.6 percent, the government reported last Friday.

Opposition leader urges ‘largest march’ as Venezuela braces for more clashesVenezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaidó calls for the “largest march” in the history of the country, as Venezuelans braced for a new round of dueling demonstrations. It seems Guaido won't have much chance as long as Putin is there. Putin is out to change as many democracies to authoritarian gov'ts. as he can. See how Trump is virtually abandoning Venezuela and he is doing it because of Putin’s involvement. Has he called Putin and said back off? It was on TV that Obama as he shook Putin’s hand he told him we know what you are doing so knock it off.Trump will never ever challenge Putin 🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
