Job Openings And Labor Turnover Survey

The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey is a government report on US employment conditions. Although less well known than the Employment Situation release, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey provides data useful for business cycle analysis and economic planning. Each month the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects data from 16,000 nonagricultural establishments to produce the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. Information on total employment, job openings, hires, resignations, layoffs/discharges, and other separations are included in the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey is released in the first or second week of the month; for example, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey for September 2005 was released on November 8, 2005. More information about the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey can be found at the BLS's site at http://www.bls.gov/jlt/home.htm.
