A Cautionary Note on the Help Wanted Online Data
Abstract: Measuring labor demand is one of the crucial tasks in analyzing the labor market. In the case of the United States, two main data sources geared towards this objective are the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), administered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Conference Board Help Wanted Online series (HWOL). In this note we exploit the timing of Craigslist price increases by metropolitan area (MSA) to find their effect on online vacancy posting.
