In episode 49 of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down the puzzling April JOLTS report: job openings jumped by over 700,000 to 7.6 million, yet hiring barely budged. They explore what this growing gap between vacancies and actual hiring tells us about labor market friction, worker reluctance, and whether the economy is really as strong as the headline numbers suggest. With the unemployment rate stuck at 4.3 percent and initial jobless claims creeping up, the hosts ask if 'slow hiring' is the new normal. A focused, data-driven look at one of the most misunderstood indicators in macroeconomics. #JobOpenings #JOLTS #LaborMarket #Hiring #Unemployment #EconomicIndicators #Friction #SkillsMismatch #FederalReserve #QuitsRate #WageGrowth #MacroData #April2026 #Businesses #Workers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
