Data Collection Forms

Basic form

The JOLTS program collects data once a month from selected establishments - stores, offices, factories, and other employers. Initially, data are collected using Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI), and later using web collection. Respondents in CATI collection are called by Data Collection Center interviewers who enter data directly into a computer. Respondents are in CATI collection for the first three months they are in the sample. Respondents assigned to web collection, having first responded for three months in CATI, enter their data online at their convenience.
