US Department of Labor Job Quality Measurement Initiative: In 2022, in partnership with the Families and Workers Fund, the US Department of Labor launched the Job Quality Measurement Initiative as part of the Good Jobs Initiative to begin measuring not just how many jobs are created in the US economy, but also how many of those jobs have stable schedules, pay a living wage and offer benefits, as well as how they measure against other key indicators. Several research efforts are currently underway, including defining job quality standards for public sector procurement, exploring options for an employer job quality index and developing survey questions to capture workers' voices.
US Bureau of Labor Statistics Data Sets: The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) tracks a variety of employment- and job-quality-related components including hires, separations, turnover rates and schedules as well as race and ethnicity data. Some data sets are available nationally and others can be broken down by state. The data sets themselves as well as accompanying reporting are available for download from the BLS website.
Measuring job quality to drive attraction, retention and growth: A practice of mandating measurement of equity and job quality in both its recruiting and its advancement process through the Working Metrics tool, which allows tracking and analysis of data such as job growth, retention, earnings and benefits by race and gender.
