WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. job openings rose unexpectedly in April, showing that the labor market remains resilient in the face of uncertainty arising from President Donald Trump’s trade wars.

Job openings ticked up unexpectedly in April, when President Donald Trump’s tariffs rocked the financial world and dampened consumer sentiment.

U.S. job openings increased in April, but layoffs posted their biggest rise in nine months, suggesting that labor market conditions were softening as tariff uncertainty dims the economic outlook.
