A "job opening" is not a job. It's an aspirational advertisement.

Further, the graph shown is pretty noisy and I'm not sure the upward move which counters the downward trent is statistically significant.

Advertisement or trying to fool investors that they are growing

BLS doesn't look at job ads when compiling "job opening" data. Their method isn't perfect (nothing in life is), but far more comprehensive than you give it credit for.

You can also look at the BLS unemployment rate. Its also low. The predicted mass joblessness due to AI shows no sign of happening
