Master Occupation Data Table
Saturation rate is a point-in-time measure of labor supply relative to current employment. It is calculated by dividing the number of available applicants (calculated with unemployment by occupation) by the total number jobs for each occupation.

Another relevant measure is number of applicants per job opening, calculated by dividing the number of available applicants by the number of projected annual openings.
