Op basis van een blog die ik schreef voor Talent in de regio, maakte dataverslaggever @martijnklerks.bsky.social van het @algemeendagblad.bsky.social voor alle 342 Nederlandse gemeenten een lokaal artikel. Daardoor verscheen het verhaal o.a. in De Gelderlander, De Stentor, en Tubantia. 2/3

Mijn onderzoek in bijna alle lokale kranten!

Samen met @sierdjan.bsky.social deed ik onderzoek naar ruimtelijke verschillen in de vraag naar skills. Dat leverde niet alleen een wetenschappelijk artikel op, maar ook media-aandacht. Ruimtelijk onderzoek raakt ook weer ruimtelijk verspreid! 1/3

Insightful conference today in Brussels on the use of job vacancy and skills data, hosted by @cedefop.europa.eu. Vacancy data holds great potential for labor market insights, but comparing different datasets and taxonomies is crucial for ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Does it take extra skills to work in a large city? 🌆

In this new paper, we analyse online job vacancy data and find that jobs in large cities require more skills and a more diverse skill set, indicating a higher job complexity.

Job relatedness, local skill coherence and economic performance: a job postings approach The local presence and composition of skills is commonly thought to have enormous implications for economic development. Yet, skills and the relations between them are notoriously difficult to pinp...

How can job advertisements help us understand skill-relatedness and economic performance in local labour markets? Find out in our latest paper with Martin Henning, Rikard Eriksson, Petrus Garefelt & Hanna Martin in @rsa-rsrs.bsky.social! 🧵1/9

Are urban labour markets more dynamic? Vacancies and urban scaling - Harm-Jan Rouwendal, Jan Rouwendal, 2024 This paper shows that there is superlinear scaling of vacancies with employment size. That is, there are disproportionally more vacancies relative to employment...

Why is it easier to find a job that matches your skills in a city than elsewhere?
In this study we show that there are disproportionally more vacancies available per worker, which makes it easier to move from one job to another.
