Details

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stores data in the form of series IDs. The structure of series IDs varies by the underlying database (e.g., CES, JOLTS, etc.). Users must input the correct series IDs to download their desired data. This function helps overcome this problem by automatically generating JOLTS series IDs for a given set of inputs. Note that only total non-farm data series IDs can be extracted for different regions of the United States. Reflects the October 2020 updates to JOLTS data series.

Value

Vector of JOLTS series IDs.

Examples

# National series for seasonally adjusted private sector hires and job openings
jolts_seriesid(adjustment = c("S"), industries = c("100000"), data_types = c("HI", "JO"),
data_levels = c("L"))
