The job openings rate is simply the percentage of all jobs in the economy open and available and is calculated by taking the number of job openings divided by total nonfarm

employment (filled jobs) from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program plus job openings (unfilled jobs). A higher rate is an indicator of increased job opportunities f

seekers. This supply/demand rate includes those working more than one job and commuting from out of state. The latest month for which North Dakota employment data are

available is December 2013. The latest month for which U.S. job openings data are available is December 2013. U.S. data taken from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Unemployed per job opening is a supply/demand rate calculated by taking the number of unemployed persons from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program

dividing by job openings. A result less than 1 indicates more job openings than potential resident labor supply while a result greater than 1 indicates more potential resident l

supply than job openings. The latest month for which North Dakota unemployment data are available is December 2013. The latest month for which U.S. job openings data a

available is December 2013. U.S. data taken from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

SUPPLY/DEMAND RATES IN-STATE ACTIVE RESUMFEBRUARY 2014 ONLINE JOB OPENINGS REPORT--JOB SERVICE NORTH DA

ACTIVE RESUMS PER JOB OPENING

Active resums per job opening is a supply/demand rate that uses active online resums as the supply input and is the most timely of the supply/demand rates. For this mea

only local active online resums (i.e. resums tied to an in-state North Dakota address) were used in the calculation in order to get a more accurate measure of the local sup

situation. Out-of-state resums were excluded from this calculation. A result less than 1 indicates more job openings than local active resums, while a result greater than 1

indicates more local active resums than job openings. Also, this is the only supply/demand rate that can generate results at the occupational group level.

ONLINE JOB OPENINGS REPORT NOTESBACKGROUND

Online job openings statistics provide a timely overview of the current supply/demand dynamic of North Dakota's labor market. The

Online Job Openings Report (OJOR) is the earliest monthly indicator of North Dakotas labor market activity with data publication

generally occurring the first working Tuesday of the month following the reference month (i.e. January data published the first working

Tuesday in February). The report involves the monthly collection, processing, and dissemination of online job openings posted by

employers and online resum activities of job seekers. Both job openings and active resums are published for the major

occupational groups at the statewide and regional levels. Data for counties are only available at a total aggregate level.

Various supply/demand rates are calculated for major occupational groups and select geographies. Job openings and active resums

data are used to calculate the rate of active resums per job opening. Unemployment data from the Local Area Unemployment

Statistics (LAUS) program is used to calculate the rate of unemployed per job opening and employment data from the Current

Employment Statistics (CES) program is used to calculate the job openings rate. All these supply/demand rates provide users with

alternate views of the local labor supply/demand situation. For comparability, national level job openings data from the U.S. Bureau of

Labor Statistics (BLS) are extracted from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) and featured in the report. For a

detailed description of the various supply/demand rates, see the Terms and Concepts section.

METHODOLOGY AND COVERAGE

The OJOR is essentially a universe count of all North Dakota worksites with online advertised jobs posted either directly with Job

Service North Dakota or indirectly through other online job sites. It should be stressed that coverage is l imited to jobs posted online.Job vacancies advertised strictly through word-of-mouth, local print-only newspapers, outdoor signage, or any other non-online

means are not counted.

The database from the Job Service North Dakota online labor exchange system is the underlying source for the OJOR and its

corresponding time series. The data are a combination of local openings brought into the system either internally or externally. An

internal job opening is submitted directly to the labor exchange system by either local office staff or authorized local employers. An

external job opening is "spidered" into the system from outside online job sites including corporate, educational institution, newspaper

government, private job board, and recruiter sites. Keep in mind, almost all of the online job openings and active resums data are

self-reported by the employer and job seeker, respectively, so accuracy cannot necessarily be guaranteed though system checks are

in place to flag potential errors. Every effort is made to ensure the report is constructed using unduplicated data. The unduplication

process involves the systematic analysis of key fields of each opening, such as company name, job title/description, and location,

against all openings, flagging potential duplicate matches. An analyst reviews and eliminates legitimate duplicates.

The OJOR is not subject to the typical sampling error and non-response error components associated with most statistical surveys.

Non-sampling error sources would include population under-coverage due to missing a portion of the targeted population (e.g. a large

Internet job board), and over-coverage due to the inability to fully eliminate duplicate job openings. Additional potential sources of

non-sampling error would include occupational and/or geographic coding errors which could affect the proper classification of

individual job openings.

Occupational coding is done at the 6-digit 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) level and the 8-digit O*NET level. The

SOC coding used in the OJOR is the same definitional coding used for federal employment and unemployment statistics. It should be

noted that are no changes at the major occupational group level between the 2000 and 2010 SOC structures, though the detailed

composition of the groups may have changed but not enough to be significant at the group level.

The geographic coding for an internal opening is determined by information submitted directly to the labor exchange system by either

local office staff or authorized local employers. An external opening is coded against location information from the original posting.

Data are not seasonally adjusted and subject to revision. Dashes (---) indicate data not available.

TERMS AND CONCEPTS

DATA REFERENCE PERIOD.The OJOR collects data using a mid-month reference period (the week that includes the 12thof the month),which is standard for most BLS programs and provides a more accurate comparison for measures using data from those sources.

JOB OPENINGS.Job openings include all open and available online openings during the reference period. This figure may include

openings posted no more than 90 days prior but still active during the reference period, as well as new openings.

17/19

ONLINE JOB OPENINGS REPORT NOTESACTIVE RESUMS.Active resums are all online resums that have been created or otherwise modified during the reference period.

This figure may include resums posted no more than 90 days prior but still active during the reference period, as well as new

resums. Active resums may include those created by out-of-state candidates. Candidates may post multiple online resums so

active resums should not be interpreted as an individual candidate count. Active resums are not necessarily an indicator of

unemployment since candidates posting resums may or may not be unemployed.

SUPPLY/DEMAND RATES.Supply/demand rates, as outlined below, only provide a measure of relative slack of the labor market and

whether a potential imbalance exists, but does not suggest that the qualifications of the job seekers directly align with the

requirements of the advertised vacancies. Over time, these rates tend to trend closely with the general economic cycle, specifically

labor market contractions/expansions.

JOB OPENINGS RATE.The job openings rate is simply the percentage of all jobs in the economy open and available and is calculated

by taking the number of job openings divided by total nonfarm employment (filled jobs) from the CES program plus job openings

(unfilled jobs). The number of unfilled jobs is an important measure of the unmet demand for labor. With that statistic, it is possible to

paint a more complete picture of the state's labor market than by looking solely at the unemployment rate, a measure of the excess

supply of labor. A higher rate is an indicator of increased job opportunities for seekers. This supply/demand rate includes those

working more than one job and commuting from out of state. Calculations for the U.S. job openings rate use data from the JOLTS.

Due to timing issues, supplemental data used to calculate this rate typically lag one month, therefore the most recent published rate

will lag one month in the latest published report. The U.S. data typically lag two months.

ACTIVE RESUMS PER JOB OPENING.Active resums per job opening is a supply/demand rate that uses active online resums as thesupply input and is the most timely of the supply/demand rates. For this measure, only local active online resums (i.e. resums tied

to an in-state North Dakota address) were used in the calculation in order to get a more accurate measure of the local supply

situation. Out-of-state resums are excluded from this calculation. A result less than 1 indicates more job openings than local active

resums, while a result greater than 1 indicates more local active resums than job openings. Also, this is the only supply/demand

rate that generates results at the occupational group level.

UNEMPLOYED PER JOB OPENING.Unemployed per job opening is a supply/demand rate calculated by taking the number of unemployed

persons from the LAUS program and dividing by job openings. A result less than 1 indicates more job openings than potential

resident labor supply, while a result greater than 1 indicates more potential resident labor supply than job openings. Calculations for

the U.S. rate of unemployed per job opening are based on data from the JOLTS and the Current Population Survey (CPS) from the

BLS. Due to timing issues, supplemental data used to calculate this rate typically lag one month, therefore the most recent published

rate will lag one month in the latest published report. The U.S. data typically lag two months.

OCCUPATIONAL DATA.Occupational groups are based on the 2010 SOC coding system. Openings and resums are coded to the 6-

digit SOC level and 8-digit O*NET level whenever possible. Data are aggregated to the major occupational group level.

UNEMPLOYMENT DATA.The unemployment data used in this report come from the CPS and the LAUS programs. Both programs

provide timely and accurate data on the unemployed and are used to calculate supply/demand rates of unemployed per job opening.

The unemployed are defined as those 16 years of age and older who were unemployed but actively seeking and available for work

within the last month.

REGIONAL DATA.The eight North Dakota regions were established in 1968 are made up of groupings of counties around a regional

city center providing a majority of the services and exhibiting the greatest economic influence. Openings data are coded based on

worksite location. Resums data are coded based on the current residential address of the job seeker. While the regional reports are

not as comprehensive as the statewide report, they do provide some local detail and comparisons not otherwise available.

WAGE DATA.The average hourly wage data are the latest available from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program.OES wage data provide an accurate, comprehensive, point-in-time snapshot of wage levels of currently employed workers across all

800 SOC occupations. These wage data should not be interpreted as an advertised wage for openings in that occupational group.

Occupational wage data specific to the OJOR regions are not available, instead, state-level North Dakota occupational wages are

provided as a general guide.

DATA INTERPRETATION

The OJOR contains a lot of data and information. For many, the issue becomes how to interpret it. While the top-line numbers get the

most attention, the emphasis in interpreting the data should focus on the trend over time. Since the time series is not seasonally

adjusted, the most appropriate comparison for any month should be the same month one year earlier.

ONLINE JOB OPENINGS REPORT NOTESJob openings data reflect a relative demand for labor. Job openings include all open and available online openings. It should not be

assumed that the published job openings number is the entirety of the job openings market. There is a segment of the job openings

market that relies solely on means other than online to recruit workers. Those openings arent captured in the OJOR.

Active resums data reflect a relative supply of labor. Active resums include all online resums that have been created or otherwise

modified by job seekers with a desire to work in North Dakota. Therefore, a segment of active resums belong to out-of-state

candidates. Candidates may post multiple online resums so active resums should not be interpreted as an individual candidate

count. Active resums are not necessarily an indicator of unemployment since candidates posting resums may or may not be

unemployed. It should not be assumed that the published active resums number is the entirety of the potential labor supply market.

For example, those unemployed who havent created an online resum are not counted in the active resum total. Similarly, casual

job seekers who may peruse job openings but not create an online resum are not included in the count.

Supply/demand rates are a calculation used to reconcile the relationship between labor market demand (e.g. job openings) and labor

market supply (e.g. active resums, unemployed). The resulting ratios highlight the relative slack of the labor market for occupational

groups and select geographies. Generally, supply/demand rates (e.g. active resums per job opening, unemployed per job opening)

below 1 indicate a greater need for workers in an occupational group or area. In other words, theres not enough supply (workers) to

keep up with demand (job openings). Generally, the opposite is true when supply/demand rates exceed 1. Of course, such an

analysis only provides a general idea of where excess demand exists; it does not necessarily indicate a match if a candidate doesnt

have the individual education, skills, or experience to get hired. Caution should be exercised when interpreting supply/demand rates.

Occupational groups and geographies with a small number of openings exhibit much more volatility and may skew a usersinterpretation of an areas labor market situation. Its important to reference the number of openings for an occupational group or

geography in order to add context to any supply/demand analysis (high/low rates may mask a relatively small labor market demand

and/or supply).This is especially true for geographies with small populations and labor forces.

Career planning and exploration is an integral component to a successful work life. Students are increasingly being introduced to

career planning and exploration activities early on in their academic life. In conjunction with other pieces of labor market information

(e.g. projections, wages, skill requirements, etc.), the supply/demand data can alert students, educators, and counselors to excess

supply or higher demand in certain occupational groups or geographies. For job seekers, the OJOR data can help focus job searches

and highlight occupational groups and/or geographic areas with the greatest opportunities or toughest competition. The business

community, economic developers, and policy makers use supply/demand data to track trends in the labor market. OJOR data can

potentially highlight labor imbalances. This can be especially helpful if a business is looking to expand or relocate, therefore needing a

supply of available workers. Economic developers and policy makers use the data to gauge the general health of the economy and

look for opportunities to maximize labor supply and demand.
