There are more jobs open today than there have been in 14 years.

There were, as of the end of November, 4.97 million open jobs in this economy.

That’s more than there have been in 14 years.

That number comes from the Labor Department, and is taken by many – including Janet Yellen – as a good sign for the overall economy.
