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.

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.
