Companies hired fewer employees in June.

The number of job openings rose to a fresh record in June while hiring decreased, evidence of the difficulties companies are having finding suitable employees.

The Labor Department reported that openings vaulted to 6.16 million from 5.7 million in May.
Hirings, however, fell, and separations also fell slightly.
