Job openings rose in September from the prior month in a still-tight labor market where demand for workers continued to far outpace the number of unemployed people looking for work.

The increase in openings and other figures in the Labor Department’s report on hiring demand and job turnover added to signs of a healthy labor market that has cooled slightly compared with the first half of the year. Payroll growth slowed in September but was still strong. Pay and benefits increases rose rapidly in the third quarter but at a similar pace as the prior quarter. Jobless claims have remained low as employers hold on to workers.
