Resources - because sharing is caring!

Just sharing some cool (and free!) online resources and network tools. Let me know if you find more worth sharing!

Explore the US Job Space

The US Job Space is a network representation of local labor systems in US. I uploaded the US Job Space into Polinode - an online and interactive platform for visualizing networks - so you can consult the data in the US Job Space in an interactive way.

​

Here, you can explore the whole network with all the US jobs and relatedness between them. You can select three types of relatedness between jobs - similarity, complementarity, and local synergy (Farinha et al, 2019); see how they relate to automatable jobs (Farinha 2020); find this information for any particular job.

Example: find your own job title and check its technical risk of automation (Atkinson, 2017). Check also which other jobs are similar to your job, in terms of having similar tasks (O*NET); or complementary to your job, within the same industry cluster (US Cluster Mapping); or synergic to your job, in terms of sharing local synergies (Farinha et al, 2019, BLS). Tip: in the left side bar menu, select the attributes you want to see in the network. For instance, select "color" of the nodes according to their technical risk of automation; or according to their job family; or select "color" of the links according to the attribute "relatedness". Have fun!!
