Description
This report presents data from the Job Vacancy Monitor (JVM), a monthly analysis of job advertisements published in selected editions of 25 regional newspapers and on two IT websites. The JVM enables us to monitor the number of advertised vacancies in each occupational category over time. Analysis of the JVM suggests that it is an indicator of change in labour market tightness, or change in the degree of difficulty of recruiting staff.
