|				Annual Revisions to the State JOLTS Data				 |
|													 |
|The JOLTS state data are revised annually to reflect updates to the JOLTS national estimates, the 	 |
|Current Employment Statistics (CES) employment estimates, and the Quarterly Census of Employment	 | 
|and Wages (QCEW) through fourth quarter 2025. This annual benchmarking process results in revisions	 | 
|to both the seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted JOLTS state data series. Seasonally adjusted| 
|and not seasonally adjusted data from January 2021 forward are subject to revision.			 |

Technical Note

This news release presents statistics from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). The JOLTS program 
provides information on labor demand and turnover. Additional information about the JOLTS program can be found at 
www.bls.gov/jlt/. State estimates are published for job openings, hires, quits, layoffs and discharges, and total 
separations. The JOLTS program covers all private nonfarm establishments, as well as civilian federal, state, and 
local government entities in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Starting with data for January 2023, 
industries are classified in accordance with the 2022 North American Industry Classification System. 

Definitions 

Employment. Employment includes persons on the payroll who worked or received pay for the pay period 
that includes the 12th day of the reference month. Full-time, part-time, permanent, short-term, seasonal, salaried, 
and hourly employees are included, as are employees on paid vacation or other paid leave. Proprietors or partners of 
unincorporated businesses, unpaid family workers, or employees on strike for the entire pay period, and employees 
on leave without pay for the entire pay period are not counted as employed. Employees of temporary help agencies, 
employee leasing companies, outside contractors, and consultants are counted by their employer of record, not by 
the establishment where they are working. JOLTS does not publish employment estimates but uses the reported 
employment for validation of the other reported data elements. 

Job Openings. Job openings include all positions that are open on the last business day of the reference 
month. A job is open only if it meets all three of these conditions:  
* A specific position exists and there is work available for that position. The position can be full-time or part-
time, and it can be permanent, short-term, or seasonal.  
* The job could start within 30 days, whether or not the employer can find a suitable candidate during that time.  
* The employer is actively recruiting workers from outside the establishment to fill the position. 
Active recruiting means that the establishment is taking steps to fill a position. It may include advertising in 
newspapers, on television, or on the radio; posting internet notices, posting "help wanted" signs, networking, or 
making "word-of-mouth" announcements; accepting applications; interviewing candidates; contacting 
employment agencies; or soliciting employees at job fairs, state or local employment offices, or similar sources. 

Excluded are positions open only to internal transfers, promotions or demotions, or recall from layoffs. 
Also excluded are openings for positions with start dates more than 30 days in the future; positions for which 
employees have been hired but the employees have not yet reported for work; and positions to be filled by 
employees of temporary help agencies, employee leasing companies, outside contractors, or consultants. The job 
openings rate is computed by dividing the number of job openings by the sum of employment and job openings and 
multiplying that quotient by 100. 

Hires. Hires include all additions to the payroll during the entire reference month, including newly hired 
and rehired employees; full-time and part-time employees; permanent, short-term, and seasonal employees; 
employees who were recalled to a job at the location following a layoff (formal suspension from pay status) lasting 
more than 7 days; on-call or intermittent employees who returned to work after having been formally separated; 
workers who were hired and separated during the month, and transfers from other locations. Excluded are transfers 
or promotions within the reporting location, employees returning from strike, employees of temporary help 
agencies, employee leasing companies, outside contractors, or consultants. The hires rate is computed by dividing 
the number of hires by employment and multiplying that quotient by 100. 

Separations. Separations include all separations from the payroll during the entire reference month and is 
reported by type of separation:  quits, layoffs and discharges, and other separations. Quits include employees who 
left voluntarily, with the exception of retirements or transfers to other locations. Layoffs and discharges includes 
involuntary separations initiated by the employer, such as layoffs with no intent to rehire; layoffs (formal 
suspensions from pay status) lasting or expected to last more than 7 days; discharges resulting from mergers, 
downsizing, or closings; firings or other discharges for cause; terminations of permanent or short-term employees; 
and terminations of seasonal employees (whether or not they are expected to return the next season). Other 
separations include retirements, transfers to other locations, separations due to employee disability; and deaths. 
Other separations comprise less than 8 percent of total separations. Other separations rates are generally very low, 
and other separations variance estimates are relatively high. Consequently, the other separations component is not 
published for states.  

Excluded from separations are transfers within the same location; employees on strike; employees of temporary help 
agencies, employee leasing companies, outside contractors, or consultants. The separations rate is computed by 
dividing the number of separations by employment and multiplying that quotient by 100. The quits and layoffs and 
discharges rates are computed similarly. 

State Estimation Method

The JOLTS survey design is a stratified random sample of approximately 21,000 nonfarm business and 
government establishments. The sample is stratified by ownership, region, industry sector, and establishment size 
class. The JOLTS sample of 21,000 establishments does not directly support the production of sample-based state 
estimates. However, state estimates have been produced by combining the available sample with model-based 
estimates. 

The state estimates consist of two estimating models; the Synthetic model (an unpublished intermediate model) 
and the Composite Synthetic model (published historical series through the most current benchmark year). The 
Composite Synthetic model uses JOLTS microdata and Synthetic model estimates derived from monthly 
employment changes in microdata from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), and 
JOLTS published regional data. 

The JOLTS sample, by itself, cannot ensure a reasonably sized sample for each state-supersector cell. The small 
JOLTS sample results in several state-supersector cells that lack enough data to produce a reasonable estimate. To 
overcome this issue, the state-level estimates derived directly from the JOLTS sample are augmented using JOLTS 
regional estimates when the number of respondents is low (that is, less than 30). This approach is known as a 
composite estimate, which leverages the small JOLTS sample to the greatest extent possible and supplements that 
with a model-based estimate. Previous research has found that regional industry estimates are a good proxy at finer 
levels of geographical detail. That is, one can make a reliable prediction of JOLTS estimates at the regional-level 
using only national industry-level JOLTS rates. The assumption in this approach is that one can make a good 
prediction of JOLTS estimates at the state-level using only regional industry-level JOLTS rates.

In this approach, the JOLTS microdata-based estimate is used, without model augmentation, in all state-
supersector cells that have 30 or more respondents. The JOLTS regional estimate will be used, without a sample-
based component, in all statesupersector cells that have fewer than five respondents. In all state-supersector cells 
with 5 to 30 respondents, an estimate is calculated that is a composition of a weighted estimate of the microdata-
based estimate and a weighted estimate of the JOLTS regional estimate. The weight assigned to the JOLTS data in 
those cells is proportional to the number of JOLTS respondents in the cell (weight=n/30, where n is the number of 
respondents). The sum of state estimates within a region is made equal to the aligned regional JOLTS published 
regional estimates. 

Seasonal adjustment. BLS uses the seasonal adjustment program (X-13ARIMA-SEATS) to seasonally 
adjust the JOLTS series. Each month, a concurrent seasonal adjustment methodology uses all relevant data, up to 
and including the current month, to calculate new seasonal adjustment factors. Moving averages are used as 
seasonal filters in seasonal adjustment. JOLTS seasonal adjustment includes both additive and multiplicative 
models, as well as regression with autocorrelated errors (REGARIMA) modeling, to improve the seasonal 
adjustment factors at the beginning and end of the series and to detect and adjust for outliers in the series.  

Annual estimates and benchmarking. The JOLTS state estimates utilize and leverage data from three 
BLS programs; JOLTS, CES, and QCEW. These state estimates are published as a historical series made up of a 
historical annually revised benchmark component of the Composite Synthetic model. 

The JOLTS employment levels are ratio-adjusted to the CES employment levels, and the resulting ratios 
are applied to all JOLTS data elements. 

The seasonally adjusted estimates are recalculated for the most recent 5 years to reflect updated seasonal 
adjustment factors. These annual updates result in revisions to both the seasonally adjusted and not seasonally 
adjusted JOLTS data series for the period since the last benchmark was established. 

Annual levels for hires, quits, layoffs and discharges, other separations, and total separations are the sum of 
the 12 published monthly levels.  

Annual average levels for job openings are calculated by dividing the sum of the 12 published monthly 
levels by 12.  

Annual average rates for hires, total separations, quits, and layoffs and discharges are calculated by 
dividing the sum of the 12 monthly JOLTS published levels for each data element by the sum of the 12 monthly 
CES published employment levels, and multiplying that quotient by 100.  

Annual average rates for job openings are calculated by dividing the sum of the 12 monthly JOLTS 
published levels by the sum of the 12 monthly CES published employment levels plus the sum of the 12 monthly 
job openings levels, and multiplying that quotient by 100.) 

Reliability of the estimates

JOLTS estimates are subject to two types of error:  sampling error and nonsampling error. 

Sampling error can result when a sample, rather than an entire population, is surveyed. There is a chance 
that the sample estimates may differ from the true population values they represent. The exact difference, or 
sampling error, varies with the sample selected, and this variability is measured by the standard error of the estimate. 
BLS analyses are generally conducted at the 90-percent level of confidence. This means that there is a 90-percent 
chance that the true population mean will fall into the interval created by the sample mean plus or minus 1.65 
standard errors. Estimates of median standard errors are released monthly as part of the significant change tables on 
the JOLTS webpage. Standard errors are updated annually with the most recent 5 years of data. For sampling error 
estimates, see www.bls.gov/jlt/jolts_median_standard_errors.htm. 

Nonsampling error can occur for many reasons, including the failure to include a segment of the 
population, the inability to obtain data from all units in the sample, the inability or unwillingness of respondents to 
provide data on a timely basis, mistakes made by respondents, errors made in the collection or processing of the 
data, and errors from the employment benchmark data used in estimation. The JOLTS program uses quality control 
procedures to reduce nonsampling error in the survey's design.  

The JOLTS state variance estimates account for both sampling error and the error attributable to modeling. 
A small area domain model uses a Bayesian approach to develop estimates of JOLTS state variance. The small area 
model uses QCEW-based JOLTS synthetic model data to generate a Bayesian prior distribution, then updates the 
prior distribution using JOLTS microdata and sample-based variance estimates at the state and US Census regional 
level to generate a Bayesian posterior distribution. Once the Bayesian posterior distribution has been generated, 
estimates of JOLTS state variances are made by drawing 2,500 estimates from the Bayesian posterior distribution. 
This Bayesian approach thus indirectly accounts for sampling error and directly for model error.
