And investors parsing through some economic data today, starting with jobs data from the jolts report showing that there were 10.7 million job openings in the U. S. In september an increase from the month before our job openings actually fell by about a million. But still these are historically high numbers, so hiring did take lower. In september, quits were little changed, hovering at about four million have a total construction spending unexpectedly rose in september the only slightly from the month before. So nonresidential projects jumped off, setting a slowdown in residential structure, buildings and residential construction spending.
