The number of job openings fell to 8.8 million at the end of July, down from the prior month’s revised 9.1 million in a sign that the economy is downshifting, the Labor Department reported on Tuesday.

The drop brings the number about 2.5 million below the 11.4 million available jobs of a year ago.

Openings fell in professional and business services, down 198,000; health care and social assistance, off by 130,000; and state and local government, including education, where the combined losses totaled 129,000. There was a strong increase in information industry jobs, up by 101,000; and in transportation, warehousing and utilities, where openings increased by 75,000.

“Now it is taking a bit longer for jobseekers to find a job,” said Julia Pollak, chief economist for ZipRecruiter. “There’s meaningful slack in the job market, but it is still a historically tight job market. Overall, I still see the U.S. labor market as understaffed.”

The government will report the monthly jobs number for August on Friday with expectations for a gain of about 168,000 jobs.

“Investors should expect a softening labor report this Friday, further cementing the thesis that the Fed is getting close to finishing its tightening cycle,” said Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial.

Meanwhile, the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index for August found a pullback as Americans grew more concerned about rising prices of gasoline and groceries.

The present situation index – a reading of how consumers assess the current economy – fell to 144.8 from 153.0 in July. The expectations index, a forward-looking measure, declined to 80.2 from July’s bump to 88.

“Consumer confidence fell in August 2023, erasing back-to-back increases in June and July,” said Dana Peterson, chief economist at the business organization. “August’s disappointing headline number reflected dips in both the current conditions and expectations indexes. Write-in responses showed that consumers were once again preoccupied with rising prices in general, and for groceries and gasoline in particular.”

“The pullback in consumer confidence was evident across all age groups – and most notable among consumers with household incomes of $100,000 or more, as well as those earning less than $50,000,” Peterson added. “Confidence held relatively steady for consumers with incomes between $50,000 and $99,999.”

Consumers expected higher interest rates to come, while also lowering their assessment of the probability of a recession.

Also Tuesday, home prices rose 0.9% in June, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller index. Prices were unchanged on a year-over-year basis.

"U.S. home prices continued to increase in June 2023," said Craig J. Lazzara, Managing Director at S&P DJI. "Our National Composite rose by 0.9% in June, and it now stands only -0.02% below its all time peak from exactly one year ago. Our 10- and 20-City Composites likewise each gained 0.9% in June 2023, and stand -0.5% and -1.2%, respectively, below their June 2022 peaks.”

"As we've noted previously, the recovery in home prices is broadly based,” Lazzara added. “Prices rose in all 20 cities in June, both before and after seasonal adjustment. Over the last 12 months, 10 cities show positive returns. Otherwise said, half the cities in our sample now sit at all-time high prices.

“Today’s market offers buyers the frustrating combination of low inventory and high home prices,” said Realtor.com economic data analyst Hannah Jones. “Many existing homeowners remain on the sidelines of the market, content to stay put as mortgage rates reach 20-year highs.”

“As a result, home shoppers are seeing fewer existing homes for sale and facing more competition for the homes available,” Jones added. “Builders have started to pick up construction activity to fill this gap, but remain cautious as affordability challenges continue to stifle buyer demand.”

新华社美国尤金7月17日电中国短跑女将如何看待与世界最高水平的差距？新华社记者王子江力量不足、节奏把握不住、技术需要提高……中国两名最优秀的女子短跑选手梁小静和葛曼棋17日在结束了世界田径锦标赛女子100米比赛后，向记者谈了她们眼中中国选手与世界顶尖高手的差距。在3年前的多哈世锦赛上，梁小静、葛曼棋与韦永丽三人携手闯入女子百米半决赛，创造了中国田径的历史。这次在预赛中，梁小静跑出11秒25无缘半决赛，葛曼棋跑出11秒17，幸运地压线晋级。半决赛中，葛曼棋虽然把成绩提高到11秒13，但面对众多强手，未能再进一步。从成绩上看，两名中国选手不仅与包揽前三名的牙买加选手差距非常大，与其他欧美高手也有很大距离。

二 | 且不说决赛中获得冠军的弗雷泽·普莱斯跑出了10秒67的赛会最好成绩，即使在半决赛中，葛曼棋所在的第二小组也有5人突破了11秒。而梁小静和葛曼棋的个人最好成绩分别只有11秒13和11秒04。

身高1米58的梁小静认为，论身高，自己和弗雷泽·普莱斯差不多，但对手在“力量、技术、能力”方面都比自己强很多。葛曼棋则告诉记者，欧美选手主要强在力量和对节奏的把握上。

三 | 两人都认为，力量和把握节奏的优势表现在比赛中，就是中国选手能够在前半程压住对手，但在后半程就缺乏后劲，被对手轻松超越。梁小静说：“我在前程可以力压她们，但过了60米，她们提速特别快，我认为欠缺的就是力量、核心的稳定和耐力。”葛曼棋表示，自己在后程保持速度的能力与对手相差太大：“我在国内比赛，后程算比较强的，但到了国外和她们比就差很多。”另外，缺乏大赛经验也是一个很关键的因素。葛曼棋认为，因为缺少大赛历练，比赛中很容易被对手的节奏带乱。“我们必须有机会经常和最高水平的人一起比赛，以赛代练才是提高的关键。

四 | ”不过，苏炳添在世锦赛期间接受记者采访时，认为中国女子短跑选手与世界最高水平的差距并不像看上去那么大，现在只是要注意细节的把握，再就是需要时间。“这几年，中国男女短跑进步都很快，以前很难想象会有两名女选手有资格参加世锦赛，这说明我们现在的方向不能说全对，但已经有那个苗头。这个时候应该继续保持，等到有一定的厚度，才能突破，关键是要有踏实的基础。”对于后半程的劣势，苏炳添认为自己以前也存在这个问题，但“这不是能力的问题，是节奏的问题，我为什么要把起跑脚改过来？就是换节奏”。多年前苏炳添与博尔特等欧美选手同场竞技时，他前半程经常领先，总是在后面被超越。最近几年这个问题逐渐改善，就是他节奏把握得比较好。去年东京奥运会上，苏炳添取得了历史性的突破。

五 | “现在与欧美选手一起比赛，心理上已经没有畏惧感。

六 | 再加上大家经常一起训练，一共就那么几个运动员，其实很多时候他们反倒会害怕你。”苏炳添说。葛曼棋表示，她和教练仔细分析了本次世锦赛比赛的情况，也找到了一些需要改进的地方，以后会有针对性地加强速度耐力训练，冬训时一定要重新训练200米，这是她以前非常反感的距离。“我们要向炳哥（苏炳添）取经，他在力量方面加强得特别多，女队应该向他好好学习。”葛曼棋说。
