US job openings, published through FRED. Since 2000 the series has ranged from 2232 (2009) to 12,301 (2022); the latest reading is 7594 for 2026, up from 7585 the period before.
Monthly macro series carry the cycle in their shape: recessions appear as cliffs or spikes depending on the measure, and the decade stripes make it easy to place each episode. The level matters less than the turns.
