Finance-related job openings are collapsing:
Finance and insurance job openings fell -117,000 in December, to 134,000, the lowest level since February 2012.
Available vacancies in these sectors have dropped -410,000, or -75%, since the 2022 peak.
Openings are now even lower than at the 2001 recession bottom.
By comparison, the largest monthly decline during the 2008 Financial Crisis was -125,000.
As a result, the finance and insurance job openings rate fell to 1.9%, meaning fewer than 2 out of every 100 jobs in the sector are currently vacant, the lowest since February 2010.
Excluding the 2009-2010 lows, this is the lowest rate recorded this century.
The finance industry is bracing for more layoffs.
