Title: \u00a0The wage-mismatch index:A new indicator of labor demand in the job search market<\/p>\n

Abstract: Motivated by persistent labor shortages in developed economies, this study proposes a novel indicator of labor demand, the wage-mismatch index, which captures wage-related mismatches often overlooked by conventional metrics such as vacancy counts or labor market tightness. The index is defined as the share of job postings offering wages acceptable to job seekers. As a case application, we construct an index using administrative data from Japan\u2019s public employment service. We further decompose this into its underlying components to identify the sources of change over time. Finally, we demonstrate its empirical relevance by using aggregate data from Tokyo and Osaka, Japan\u2019s two largest metropolitan labor markets.<\/p>\n
