U.S. employers advertised fewer jobs in May 2022 as the economy has shown signs of weakening, though the overall demand for workers remained strong. Employers advertised 11.3 million jobs at the end of May, the Labor Department said Wednesday, July 6, 2022, down from nearly 11.7 million in March, the highest level on records that date back more than 20 years.

Roughly 40 percent of workers in the United States are contemplating quitting their current jobs in the next three to six months, according to a new report from the global management consulting firm, McKinsey and Co.

The firm surveyed more than 13,000 people across the globe, including 6,294 Americans, between February and April, to find out what is driving people to stay, leave, or return to their jobs.
