Economists forecast that job openings were little changed at 5.656 million in February from 5.626 million in January, according to Bloomberg.

Here's a preview from Wells Fargo:

Job openings rose in January despite an outsized decline in federal government openings. Voluntary separations surged, pushing the total number of quitters to a cycle high.

Through the monthly volatility, the labor market continued to add jobs in the first quarter, and the tightening labor market should spur a continued rise in the quit rate. Continued momentum in quits could presage a pickup in wage growth, which would support additional Fed rate hikes this year.
