job vacancies

Available work slots

Job vacancies are unfilled positions that employers are actively seeking to fill.

The term appears in economic reporting and labor statistics: Job vacancies hit a record high last quarter.

A single opening is a job vacancy, though the plural dominates in aggregate contexts.

Vacancy postings, help-wanted ads, and open positions all describe the same thing.
