NEW HIRES - Source: The Pennsylvania Departm ent of Labor & Industry. New Hire Reporting is a process by which employers report information on all employees hired on or after January 1, 1998 to locate non-custodial parents, establish child support orders, or enforce existing orders. Company and individual data are confidential and cannot be reported on. However, the data can be aggregated to show where and in what industries hiring is taking place as an indication of what sectors of the economy are experiencing growth or decline. Approximately sixty percent of all new hires are captured. New hire counts by industry are an indication of trend only. New hires are linked to job creation, however, an increase in new hires does not directly equate to an increase in the total employment count. The new hires count is simply an indication of hiring activity in an industry. Separations, in the form of layoffs, firings, or quits, are linked to job destruction and account for the other half of the employment change equation. The balance of hires and separations result in the employment change.
