Over the last two weeks during the Mauldin SIC conference (which we are still digesting), multiple speakers mentioned the Jolts Index -Job Openings Labor Turnover – A Bureau of Labor Statistic (BLS) that measures job openings.
Back in August of 2020, here we first took note of the movement in the Index as it made a turn at the bottom of this chart and actually surprised to the upside.
JOLTS Index Today
Fast forward to today and noting what the Mauldin speakers featured, this Index is at an ALL TIME high!
Key Takeaways
- Tons of Jobs Available
- Job Seekers Market
- Tough on Employers
- Could lead to higher wages (Inflation?)
Have a Great “JOLTS Update” Day!

Indeed Job Openings
With copyright permission granted a while back, lets take a look with greater precision at different areas of the country and world for that matter…. Data from Indeed Lab Solutions
Big US States – Wow – Florida pushing almost 40% increase in job listings versus 1-2020! Maybe not surprising after hearing all of the traffic heading to the State from other areas of the country.
Texas and Big Texas Cities
All between 20-30% higher ! Wow again!
Around the Globe
Very interesting to see the listings adjust so dramatically close to the openings and closings of countries…
All in all, very stunning improvements across the Globe!
Have a Great “Indeed Job Openings Review” Day!
