LinkUp Forecast: August JOLTS report by the BLS

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.
