Country comparison
Job Openings by Country
Job openings (JOLTS in the US, Indeed-derived series elsewhere) measure the number of unfilled positions employers are actively trying to fill. They capture labour demand directly, which complements the supply-side participation data.
Why compare Job Openings across countries?
The vacancy-to-unemployment ratio (V/U) is one of the cleanest measures of labour-market tightness and a key Fed input post-2022. Falling openings without a rising unemployment rate is the immaculate-cooling scenario that supports rate cuts; openings holding firm forces holds or hikes.
How to read the country list
Track the V/U ratio over time. Watch quits rate alongside as a worker-confidence signal. Hires and separations decompose the gross flows.
