HOUSTON, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Department of Labor announced Monday that the number of job openings increased while hires decreased in June, reflecting a limited resumption of economic activity that had been curtailed in spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to contain it.
On the last business day of June, the number of job openings increased to 5.9 million while the rate was little changed at 4.1 percent.
