Cue the hallelujah chorus: The Associated Press reports that numbers released today from the Department of Labor show that employers posted 3.1 million open jobs in February, the most since the height of the financial crisis in September 2008.
The number is still below pre-recession levels, when employers posted more than 4 million job openings, but still a great improvement from when job advertisements hit rock bottom last summer, DOL reveals. Even better, employers appear to have their pick of available talent, with an average 4.4 people competing for each available job, AP reports.
