According to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report, job openings held steady at 7.4 million in June 2025. Hires and separations also remained consistent, at 5.2 million and 5.1 million.

So what does this mean for your business? While the national labor market isn’t changing drastically on paper, many companies are still struggling to hire fast enough. Top talent is in short supply—and your competitors are hiring quickly.

EMPRO Staffing, based in Orange County, CA, helps businesses across the United States fill critical roles in warehousing, logistics, biotech, tech, light industrial, and administrative support.

Where Openings Are Rising or Falling

The June report shows some important shifts:

• Retail trade saw an increase of +190,000 openings
• Information and tech gained +67,000
• Health care and finance experienced large drops in openings

Meanwhile, employee movement (quits, layoffs, etc.) was steady. That suggests workers may be waiting for better offers—making it even more important to act quickly when hiring.

Why Speed Is Your Competitive Edge

The quits rate stayed at 2.0%, meaning fewer workers are voluntarily leaving jobs. The best talent isn’t actively searching—they’re waiting for the right opportunity.

If your hiring process takes too long, chances are you’ll miss out. That’s especially true in high-demand industries like biotech, logistics, and industrial support, where delays can cost time and money.
