The Conference Board compiles online job ads from over 16,000 sources and publishes the data in an online application that covers national, state, Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and county levels, detailed by occupation, industry and employer. Since the online ads are a direct indication of hiring intent by employers, they serve as a measure of labor demand. Reports of hiring demand by area, industry, occupation, and employer are a valuable tool for identifying employment opportunities and helping with the reemployment of Florida’s out‐of‐work citizens. The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Bureau of Labor Market Statistics compiles and publishes reports every month from Help Wanted OnLine that show hiring demand at both the state level and the regional workforce board level.
