Employer demand reports

The employer demand reports are a group of four monthly reports that reflect the top 25 skill clusters and certifications that employers are looking for in workers, as well as the top 25 occupations and employers.

Data sources

These reports are now based on the The Conference Board® Burning Glass® Help Wanted OnLine™ data series, which provides real-time labor demand gathered from online job ads. This transition was made beginning with the December 2019 reports. For more detailed information, see this brief summary.

Brief explanation of methodology

For occupations, we provide the most recent, single month of information based on a consistent time series. For employers, skill clusters and certifications, we provide the most recent four months of data from the Burning Glass® data series.
