The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) are seeking to

temporary and permanent), followed by difficulties in hiring and training workers as we emerge from the
pandemic. Your response is important to ensure that the data we produce are accurate, timely, and relevant.
This survey can be completed online in about 5-10 minutes. Please use the Web ID and case-sensitive
