SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey
(JOLTS) collects data on job vacancies, labor hires, and labor
separations. The data can be used as demand-side indicators of labor
shortages. These indicators of labor shortages at the national level
greatly enhance policy makers' understanding of imbalances between the
demand and supply of labor. Presently there is no other economic
indicator of labor demand with which to assess the presence of labor
shortages in the U.S. labor market. The availability of unfilled jobs
is an important measure of tightness of job markets, symmetrical to
unemployment measures. For additional substantive information about
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on
July 1, 2022 (87 FR 39565).
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
