Job openings fall to 7.1 million as Congress axes the penny
Original: Ticker: Job openings slip to 7.1M in August; Congress seals the penny’s fate
US job openings slipped to 7.1 million in August, a fresh signal of cooling demand for workers, while Congress moved to retire the penny, ending production of the one-cent coin. The two developments landed together in a news ticker, reflecting ongoing attention to the softening labour market and the long-debated cost of minting coins worth less than their production price.
Why now: The weakening jobs data and the end of the penny both carry economic consequences for everyday Americans, drawing attention amid concerns about the labour market.
