I'm not aware of a program that awards "job creators" for saying they have an opening. For example, most tax credits for creating jobs require increased headcount and or increases in pay on payroll tax returns. The system used to get demand numbers is a survey, and has been done the same way for decades, so it's pretty reliable compared to counting job ads on job boards. Job ads often will contain lots of duplicates (search spam) and fake jobs.
