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 November 2013. U.S. data taken from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

SUPPLY/DEMAND RATES IN-STATE ACTIVE RESUMJANUARY 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 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.
