Draft:National Labor Exchange




The National Labor Exchange (NLx)[1] is a public-private partnership between the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA)[2] and the DirectEmployers Association (DE)[3] that was established in 2007 to help connect workers with job openings in the United States.[4][5]

The NLx effectively replaced America’s Job Bank (AJB) after the latter lost federal funding.[6][7]

NLx data is for example used by CareerOneStop, which is sponsored by the United States Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration.[8]
