Job openings surged unexpectedly in October, prompting investors to analyze the labor market’s deceleration and speculate on the Federal Reserve’s potential interest rate cuts next year. According to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released on Tuesday, there were 7.74 million job openings at the end of October, up from 7.37 million in September. September’s openings had been the lowest since January 2021. The November jobs report, set to be released on Friday morning, is anticipated to show a significant rebound from October’s disappointing figures, which were largely attributed to hurricanes and worker strikes. Economists predict the report will reveal that the U.S. labor market added 220,000 jobs in November, a substantial increase from the 12,000 jobs added in October. The unemployment rate is expected to remain steady at 4.1%. **
