Using JOLTS to Track Movement in the Labor Market
By Marilyn Cannon, Regional Economist— Every month the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes a dataset called JOLTS — the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. This dataset is produced by surveying 21,000 business establishments throughout the United States about employment and payroll details. JOLTS provides labor market data, such as the number of hires, job openings, and separations, on a national and state level. JOLTS is useful in showing movement within a labor market and demonstrating the health of an economy.
