Job openings in professional and business services shot up by 509,000, while job openings in finance and insurance, state and local government education, nondurable goods manufacturing and federal government also increased.

Meanwhile, the report also said the number of hires and total separations were little changed at 5.9 million and 5.7 million, respectively.
