May marked the fourth consecutive month of year-over-year decline, confirming a trend of contracting labor demand following the record high in 2025. Since the beginning of this year, nearly 33,000 job openings have been posted, 6% fewer than in January–May of last year.

• Analysis Topic | One labor market, different realities. The low growth of the national economy exposes disparities in the labor market.
