LinkUp Forecast: August JOLTS report by the BLS
The BLS recently reported 7.18 million job openings in their July JOLTS report. Read on for our advanced look at August numbers.
LinkUp’s JOLTS forecast for August is 7.02 million open jobs, marking a 2.3% decrease in job openings from July to August.
Each BLS survey report of monthly job openings and labor turnover is released a full month after-the-fact. Our job data consistently marks a strong correlation to the BLS numbers, with the significant advantage of a month’s lead time to the official release.
We’ll continue to monitor and report on the evolving state of the labor economy. In the meantime, for an in-depth overview of the job market, key concepts and labor market metrics, check out our Jobs 101 blog series.
