Investing.com -- The number of job openings in the U.S. declined by less than expected in October, according to a monthly report on Wednesday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The new data showed that firms had 10.33 million job openings on the final business day of last month, down from a revised reading of just under 10.69M in September. Economists' forecasts had seen the figure dropping to 10.3M.
