    JOB OPENINGS

    Online job openings totaled 16,877 open and available positions in January 2014. Openings were lower by 9.1 percent

    (-1,681) over the prior month and 8.8 percent lower (-1,624) than one year ago.

    Of the 22 non-military major occupational groups, Office and Administrative Support reported the largest number of job

    openings with 1,799, followed by Transportation and Material Moving with 1,769 and Sales and Related with 1,408. Threeother occupational groups also reported job opening counts greater than 1,000 (Management; Installation, Maintenance,

    and Repair; and Production).

    Two of 22 non-military major occupational groups reported over-the-year gains of 100 or more job openings. The Food

    Preparation and Serving Related occupational group reported the largest over-the-year decline.

    Divide County reported the largest over-the-year increase in the number of job openings with 193, followed by Morton

    County (+145) and Mercer County (+58). Twenty-five of 53 counties reported over-the-year decreases led by Burleigh.

    ACTIVE RESUMS

    Active resums totaled 10,195 in January 2014. Active resums were lower by 3.8 percent (-405) over the prior month and

    18.5 percent lower (-2,315) than one year ago. There were a total of 8,438 in-state active resums and 1,757 out-of-state

    active resums.

    Of the 22 non-military major occupational groups, Office and Administrative Support reported the largest number of active

    resums with 2,141, followed by Construction and Extraction with 1,226 and Transportation and Material Moving with 1,082

    Two of 22 non-military major occupational groups reported over-the-year gains in active resums (Computer and

    Mathematical; and Farming, Fishing, and Forestry). Office and Administrative Support reported the largest year-over-year

    decrease in active resums (-517), followed by Transportation and Material Moving (-393) and Construction and Extraction

    (-321).

    SUPPLY/DEMAND RATES

    North Dakotas rate of active resums per job opening was 0.5 in January 2014. One year ago it was 0.5. Twenty of 22 non-

    military major occupational groups reported rates of less than 1.0 while one year ago eighteen occupational groups were in

    that category. Twelve of 22 non-military major occupational groups reported rate decreases from the prior year.

    North Dakotas job openings rate was 3.9 percent in December 2013, the latest month for which data are available. One

    year prior, North Dakotas rate was 4.3. The U.S. rate for December was not available at the time of publication, but a

    November 2013 comparison showed North Dakota at 4.2 percent versus the U.S. rate of 2.5 percent. The job openings rate

    is the percentage of all jobs in the economy open and available.

    North Dakotas rate of unemployed persons per job opening was 0.6 in December 2013, the latest month for which data are

    available. One year prior, North Dakotas rate was 0.7. Again, the U.S. rate was not available at the time of publication, buta November 2013 comparison showed North Dakota at 0.4 unemployed persons per job opening versus the U.S. rate of

    2.9. Twenty-one North Dakota counties reported unemployed-per-opening rates of less than 1.0 which indicates more job

    openings than resident labor supply. One year ago, thirteen counties reported rates of less than 1.0.

    The job openings rate is simply the percentage of all jobs in the economy open and available and is calculated by taking the number of job openings divided by total nonfarm

    employment (filled jobs) from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program plus job openings (unfilled jobs). A higher rate is an indicator of increased job opportunities f

    seekers. This supply/demand rate includes those working more than one job and commuting from out of state. The latest month for which North Dakota employment data are

    available is December 2013. The latest month for which U.S. job openings data are available is November 2013. U.S. data taken from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    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 mea

    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 sup

    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.

    ONLINE JOB OPENINGS REPORT NOTESACTIVE RESUMS.Active resums are all online resums that have been created or otherwise modified during the reference period.

    This figure may include resums posted no more than 90 days prior but still active during the reference period, as well as new

    resums. Active resums may include those created by 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.

    SUPPLY/DEMAND RATES.Supply/demand rates, as outlined below, only provide a measure of relative slack of the labor market and

    whether a potential imbalance exists, but does not suggest that the qualifications of the job seekers directly align with the

    requirements of the advertised vacancies. Over time, these rates tend to trend closely with the general economic cycle, specifically

    labor market contractions/expansions.

    JOB OPENINGS RATE.The job openings rate is simply the percentage of all jobs in the economy open and available and is calculated

    by taking the number of job openings divided by total nonfarm employment (filled jobs) from the CES program plus job openings

    (unfilled jobs). The number of unfilled jobs is an important measure of the unmet demand for labor. With that statistic, it is possible to

    paint a more complete picture of the state's labor market than by looking solely at the unemployment rate, a measure of the excess

    supply of labor. A higher rate is an indicator of increased job opportunities for seekers. This supply/demand rate includes those

    working more than one job and commuting from out of state. Calculations for the U.S. job openings rate use data from the JOLTS.

    Due to timing issues, supplemental data used to calculate this rate typically lag one month, therefore the most recent published rate

    will lag one month in the latest published report. The U.S. data typically lag two months.

    ACTIVE RESUMS PER JOB OPENING.Active resums per job opening is a supply/demand rate that uses active online resums as thesupply 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 are 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 generates results at the occupational group level.

    UNEMPLOYED PER JOB OPENING.Unemployed per job opening is a supply/demand rate calculated by taking the number of unemployed

    persons from the 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. Calculations for

    the U.S. rate of unemployed per job opening are based on data from the JOLTS and the Current Population Survey (CPS) from the

    BLS. Due to timing issues, supplemental data used to calculate this rate typically lag one month, therefore the most recent published

    rate will lag one month in the latest published report. The U.S. data typically lag two months.

    OCCUPATIONAL DATA.Occupational groups are based on the 2010 SOC coding system. Openings and resums are coded to the 6-

    digit SOC level and 8-digit O*NET level whenever possible. Data are aggregated to the major occupational group level.

    UNEMPLOYMENT DATA.The unemployment data used in this report come from the CPS and the LAUS programs. Both programs

    provide timely and accurate data on the unemployed and are used to calculate supply/demand rates of unemployed per job opening.

    The unemployed are defined as those 16 years of age and older who were unemployed but actively seeking and available for work

    within the last month.

    REGIONAL DATA.The eight North Dakota regions were established in 1968 are made up of groupings of counties around a regional

    city center providing a majority of the services and exhibiting the greatest economic influence. Openings data are coded based on

    worksite location. Resums data are coded based on the current residential address of the job seeker. While the regional reports are

    not as comprehensive as the statewide report, they do provide some local detail and comparisons not otherwise available.

    WAGE DATA.The average hourly wage data are the latest available from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program.OES wage data provide an accurate, comprehensive, point-in-time snapshot of wage levels of currently employed workers across all

    800 SOC occupations. These wage data should not be interpreted as an advertised wage for openings in that occupational group.

    Occupational wage data specific to the OJOR regions are not available, instead, state-level North Dakota occupational wages are

    provided as a general guide.

    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.

    ONLINE JOB OPENINGS REPORT NOTESJob 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 usersinterpretation 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.
