SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey
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 7, 2025 (90 FRN 29893).
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.
Agency: DOL-BLS.
Title of Collection: Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey
(JOLTS).
OMB Control Number: 1220-0170.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits; State, Local, or
Tribal Governments; Federal Government.
Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 6,446.
