How to read this metric
Read this as a summary of how much leverage workers have relative to employers. Higher values point to a tighter market with more openings, more quitting, or stronger wage pressure. Lower values point to a cooler market where employers have less pressure to compete for workers. The most useful signal is the direction over several months, not one exact point estimate.
