Series Description
The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) program provides national estimates of rates and levels for job openings, hires, and total separations. Total separations are further broken out into quits, layoffs and discharges, and other separations. The sample for JOLTS includes randomly selected nonfarm establishments such as factories, offices, and stores, as well as federal, state, and local government entities in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The 16,000 establishments in the JOLTS survey are drawn from a universe of approximately eight million establishments compiled as part of the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (ES-202) program.
Unadjusted counts and rates of all data elements are published by supersector and select sector based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). These supersectors and select sectors include: Mining and logging; Construction; Durable goods manufacturing; Nondurable goods manufacturing; Wholesale trade; Retail trade; Transportation, warehousing, and utilities; Information; Finance and insurance; Real estate and rental and leasing; Professional and business services; Educational services; Health care and social assistance; Arts, entertainment, and recreation; Accommodation and food services; Other services; Federal government; and State and local government.
Seasonally adjusted counts and rates of job openings, hires, total separations, and quits are available for selected NAICS supersectors. Estimates are also available for four geographic regions (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West). All data series are available from December 2000 to present on a monthly and annual basis.
BLS seasonally adjusts selected JOLTS series using the X-12-ARIMA seasonal adjustment program. A concurrent seasonal adjustment methodology is used in which new seasonal adjustment factors are calculated each month using all relevant data up to and including the data for the current month. JOLTS uses moving averages as seasonal filters and includes both additive and multiplicative seasonal adjustment models and REGARIMA modeling to improve factors at the beginning and end of the series and to detect and adjust for outliers.
All levels are published in thousands and all rates are published in percent to one decimal place. Special characteristics of the data are footnoted where necessary. First Closing estimates are usually available four to six weeks after the end of the reference month, at which time second closing estimates for the prior month are also released. The month following the annual CES benchmark revision, all JOLTS pertinent estimates are retabulated.
