The Maine Employment Status Report (ESR) is a report issued by the Maine Department of Labor that provides comprehensive coverage of the labor market in Maine. It includes data on employment and unemployment, wages and salaries, labor force participation, and job openings. It also provides information on occupational trends and educational attainment. The ESR is a valuable tool for employers, job seekers, and policymakers for tracking the employment landscape in Maine. There are two types of Maine Employment Status Reports: the Short-term ESR and the Long-term ESR. The Short-term ESR provides up-to-date data on current labor market conditions in Maine, including unemployment rate, labor force participation rate, average hourly wages, and job openings. The Long-term ESR provides a longer-term view of the Maine labor market, including data on occupational trends, educational attainment, and workforce demographics. Both reports are updated monthly and are available free of charge from the Maine Department of Labor's website.
