Unemployed per job opening is a supply/demand rate calculated by taking the number of unemployed persons from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (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. The latest month for which North Dakota unemployment data are available is December 2013. The latest month for which U.S. job openings data are available is December 2013. U.S. data taken from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

SUPPLY/DEMAND RATES
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 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 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.

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.
17
Job 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 users interpretation 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.
