Though job openings remain far below pre-recession levels, the Department of Labor is now reporting a 16 month high dating back to December of 2008.
Leading the charge are openings in professional and business services, leisure and hospitality and education and health services.

Openings aside, the most intriguing figure is the amount of people who quit their jobs  in April. 2 million. At nearly a 15% increase from March, some economists believe this to be an indication of  newfound confidence in the market.
