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