Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS)

JOLTS (Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey) is a monthly US Bureau of Labor Statistics report on job openings, hires and separations (layoffs plus voluntary quits). Markets focus on the openings figure relative to the unemployed and on the quits rate, since the Fed reads both as gauges of labour-market tightness and wage pressure. The data lags by about a month, so it moves the dollar less than the NFP report.
