Adjusted Estimates of Worker Flows and Job Openings in Jolts
Davis, Steven J. - 2010
We develop and implement a method to improve estimates of worker flows and job openings based on the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). Our method involves reweighting the cross-sectional density of employment growth rates in JOLTS to match the corresponding density in the...
