We have lots around here.......... there are 5.8 million openings in the country.... 4.7% unemployment is considered full employment.

America has a record number of job openings. There were 5.8 million job openings in the United States in July, according to the Labor Department. That's much more than the previous high -- 5.4 million -- from last May, and the highest figure since the government began counting job openings in 2000.

The spike in job openings represents a mix of good and bad news.

On the upside, employers are hiring more and the U.S. economy is growing -- a healthy sign as concerns rise about the global economy potentially weighing down U.S. economic growth. In some respects, a large number of job openings indicate that America's job market is improving, economists say.

However, job openings also mean some employers can't find the right people to hire. Too many job openings represent a problem: The job skills gap in America, experts say.
