Request
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension of
the ‘‘Job Openings and Labor Turnover

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Job Openings and Labor Turnover
Survey (JOLTS) collects data on job
vacancies, labor hires, and labor
separations. As the monthly JOLTS time
series grow longer, their value in
assessing the business cycle, the
difficulty that employers have in hiring
workers, and the extent of the mismatch
between the unused supply of available
workers and the unmet demand for
labor by employers will increase. The
study of the complex relationship
between job openings and
unemployment is of particular interest
to researchers. While these two
measures are expected to move in
opposite directions over the course of
the business cycle, their relative levels
and movements depend on the
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
efficiency of the labor market in
matching workers and jobs.
Along with the job openings rate,
trends in hires and separations may
broadly identify which aggregate
industries face the tightest labor
markets. Quits rates, the number of
persons who quit during an entire
month as a percentage of total
employment, may provide clues about
workers’ views of the labor market or
their success in finding better jobs. In
addition, businesses will be able to
compare their own turnover rates to the
national, regional, and major industry
division rates.
The BLS uses the JOLTS form to
gather information on employment, job
openings, hires, and total separations
from business establishments. The
information is collected once a month at
the BLS Data Collection Center (DCC) in
Atlanta, Georgia. The information is
collected using Computer Assisted
Telephone Interviewing (CATI), Web,
email, and FAX. An establishment is in
the sample for 24 consecutive months.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the JOLTS.
The BLS is requesting an extension to
the existing clearance for the JOLTS.
There are no major changes being made
to the forms, procedures, data collection
methodology, or other aspects of the
survey.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments

collection of information is necessary
