|
The Conference Board®−Burning Glass® Help Wanted OnLine® (HWOL) Index ticked down in January and now stands at 166.0 (July 2018=100), down slightly from 166.2 in November. The 0.2 percent decrease between December and January follows a 1.4 percent increase between November and December. Overall, the Index is up 53.7 percent from a year ago.
The Help Wanted OnLine® Index is produced in collaboration with Emsi Burning Glass, 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.
Note: Emsi Burning Glass have instituted system wide changes to their data collection process to better capture when job ads have expired. As part of these changes, there is an increase in the number of ads that expired, and subsequently, a level change in the data series for Total Ads. The HWOL Index and New Ads series remain unaffected by this update.
