Real-time Data
Help Wanted Online (HWOL)
The HWOL data series “measures the number of new first-time online jobs
and jobs reposted from the previous month on more than 1,200 major
internet job boards and smaller job boards that serve niche markets and
smaller geographic areas.” The rationale for the use of this data set is that
an increase in the number of jobs being posted online is an indication of
increased demand for workers. It is important to note that while the HWOL
data series is one of the most comprehensive counts of online job postings
available, not every job that is available and or filled is done so through an
internet job board. For this reason, increases in HWOL posting counts may
indicate an increase in demand.
