(AP)– Americans are deciding who will fill the nation’s top job, but the Obama administration said there are millions more jobs waiting to be filled.

U.S. employers posted slightly more job openings in September, a likely sign that the steady job gains of recent months could continue.

The Labor Department said that job openings edged up to 5.49 million in September, a modest increase from 5.45 million openings in August. Openings had plunged to an eight-month low in August. The record high this year was 5.8 million in April.
