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. Unadjusted counts and rates of all data elements are published by supersector and select sector based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The number of unfilled jobs—used to calculate the job openings rate—is an important measure of the unmet demand for labor. With that statistic, it is possible to paint a more complete picture of the U.S. labor market than by looking solely at the unemployment rate, a measure of the excess supply of labor. Information on labor turnover is valuable in the proper analysis and interpretation of labor market developments and as a complement to the unemployment rate.

Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Bureau of Labor Statistics - Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) 2000-2025From the BLS:Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey Overview PageThe Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) is a monthly survey that has been developed to address the need for data on job openings, hires, and separations.PurposeThese data serve as demand-side indicators of labor shortages at the national level. Prior to JOLTS, there was no economic indicator of the unmet demand for labor with which to assess the presence or extent of labor shortages in the United States. The availability of unfilled jobs—the job openings rate—is an important measure of the tightness of job markets, parallel to existing measures of unemployment.ScopeData from a sample of approximately 21,000 U.S. business establishments are collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics through JOLTS Data Collection Centers in Atlanta and Kansas City. The JOLTS survey covers all nonagricultural industries in the public and private sectors for the 50 States and the District of Columbia.Data ElementsJOLTS collects data on Total Employment, Job Openings, Hires, Quits, Layoffs & Discharges, and Other Separations. For more information on the JOLTS data elements, see the JOLTS data definitions page.Reference PeriodsTotal Employment - the pay period that includes the 12th of the month.Job Openings - the last business day of the month.Hires and Separations - the entire calendar month.

In May 2025, the hiring rate in the United States was at 3.4 percent for total nonfarm industries. The seasonally adjusted total separations rate was at 3.3 percent. The data are seasonally adjusted. The separations figure includes voluntary quits, involuntary layoffs and discharges, and other separations, including retirements. Total separations also refer to as turnover.

Short-term business statistics (STS) give information on a wide range of economic activities. All STS data are index data. Additionally, annual absolute values are released for building permits indicators. Percentage changes are also available for each indicator: Infra-annual percentage changes - changes between two consecutive months or quarters - are calculated on the basis of non-adjusted data (prices) or calendar and seasonally adjusted data (volume and value indicators) and year-on-year changes - comparing a period to the same period one year ago - are calculated on the basis of non-adjusted data (prices and employment) or calendar adjusted data (volume and value indicators).

The index data are generally presented in the following forms:

• unadjusted
• calendar adjusted
• calendar and seasonally adjusted.

Depending on the EBS Regulation data are accessible as monthly, quarterly and annual data.

The STS indicators are listed below in five different sectors, reflecting the dissemination of these data in Eurostat’s online database “Eurobase”.

Based on the national data, Eurostat compiles short-term indicators for the EU and euro area. Among these, a list of indicators, called Principal European Economic Indicators (PEEIs) has been identified by key users as being of primary importance for the conduct of monetary and economic policy of the euro area. The PEEIs contributed by STS are marked with * in the text below.

The euro indicators are released through Eurostat's website.

Abstract

The Labor Turnover Survey (LTS) aims to generate quarterly data on labor turnover (accession and separation rates) as indicators of labor market activity in large business enterprises.

The information gathered in this survey is intended to generate timely labor market signals as sound basis in planning, policy formulation and decision making in goverment, business and industry.

The sampling frame for the 2016 LTS is an integrated list from enterprises culled from the 2015 List of Establishments in the NCR prepared by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the updated sampling frames of LTS 2014 and LTS 2015. This comprises 16,194 business firms/enterprises with an employment size of at least 20.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The enterprise is the unit of enumeration in the LTS and it has for its sampling domain the eighteen (18) major industry groups (1-digit) based on the 2009 PSIC. The survey covered business enterprises located in the National Capital Region (NCR) to provide a quick and timely assessment of the labor market activity through a sample survey with manageable sample size given the limited budget. NCR accounts for one-third of the country's gross domestic product and about two-thirds of the total large business enterprises in the Philippines.

The sampling frame for the 2016 LTS is an integrated list from enterprises culled from the 2015 List of Establishment in the NCR prepared by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in coordination with Service and Industry Census Division (SICD) the updated sampling frames of LTS 2014 and LTS 2015. This comprises 16,194 business firms/enterprises with an employment size of at least 20. This list was obtained and updated prior to the conduct of LTS for the first quarter of 2016. The updated frame was used in the sample size determination and sample selection for the first quarter survey round. The same sample size was retained in all quarters of the year.

After each survey round, all enterprises that responded are automatically considered as samples for the next survey rounds. To fill up the lack in the computed sample size, samples will be drawn by industry from the updated sampling frame. In cases where there are no enterprises to sample in some industries, the total number of samples needed for these industries will be allocated proportionally to other industries with available samples.

The sample enterprises in each domain were drawn through simple random sampling.

Sampling deviation

Replacement of sample enterprise is done when the sampled enterprise falls in one of the following situation during the field operation: (1) cannot be located; (2) refuse to answer; (3) temporarily closed; (4) duplicate of another sample enterprise; (5) permanently closed; or (6) on strike.
