Industry Demand: Construction openings climbed to 298,000, up 36,000 from August, as manufacturers also reported a strong October and continued adding workers. Career Pathways: A $35 million federal grant will expand college and career-readiness programs for students in western North Carolina; a separate $2.4 million grant will link Minnesota students to advanced-manufacturing training and employers. Hiring Security: Investigators say North Korean hackers have used fake job offers and interview malware to target victims, underscoring the need for job seekers to verify recruiters and employers.
