Job openings in the U.S. were little changed in January, capping the strongest two months in more than three years, a signal businesses remain confident about the economic expansion.
The number of positions waiting to be filled totaled 3.46 million, down from a revised 3.54 million in December that was higher than previously estimated, the Labor Department said today in a statement posted on its website. The back-to-back reading was the highest since mid-2008.
