The latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report, showed there were 5.43 million jobs open in November.
Expectations were for openings to total 5.45 million, up from October's 5.38 million openings.
November's release also showed that for the first time in several months the quits rate ticked up slightly, to 2% from 1.9%.
The most notable change in the quits rates came from the food services industry where the rate jumped to 4.4% in November from 4.1% the prior month. This is, however, the same rate as it was in November 2014.
