Measured by Clometrix

Hedera's volatility ratio was 1.76x, against 1.54x for a typical JOLTs Job Openings release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.45x, against a typical 2.16x. That is about what this release usually does. Both compare the quarter hour of the release with an ordinary quarter hour that same day, where 1.00x is no change: volatility is how far the price ranged, volume how much traded.

What made it matter

Since 2021, JOLTs Job Openings releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Hedera about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.53x across 26, against 1.54x across 44. This one came out the day before the Federal Reserve's 30 July rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.76x compares with 1.53x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

What is the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey?

The job openings and labor turnover survey (JOLTS) is a monthly report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor counting job vacancies and separations, including the number of workers voluntarily quitting employment. The BLS surveys more than 20,000 businesses and government offices to estimate the numbers of U.S. job vacancies, hires, and separations included in the monthly jobs report. The job separations numbers are subdivided into three categories: quits, or voluntary resignations; layoffs and discharges; and other separations, which include deaths and retirements. The number of vacancies is a widely followed indicator of labor demand, while the quits rate is partly a function of employment demand. Job hires and separations can be used to gauge labor turnover.
