Conference Board Help Wanted OnLine Index unchanged in February at 101.4
The Conference Board®-Burning Glass® Help Wanted OnLine™ (HWOL) Index was unchanged in February and remains at 101.4 (July 2018=100). The Index declined 1.0 percent (from December to January) and is down 4.9 percent from a year ago.
Despite being on a slightly downward trend over the past year, the HWOL Index is still hovering at high levels. However, the COVID-19 outbreak will likely cause the number of online job ads to decline in the coming months.
The Help Wanted OnLine™ Index is produced in collaboration with Burning Glass Technologies, the global pioneer in real-time labor market data and analysis. This recent collaboration enhances the Help Wanted OnLine™ program by providing additional insights into important labor market trends.
