Occupational transitions and task networks

Browse occupations, tasks and related occupations

Choose an occupation to explore shared tasks and related occupations. Methods and display limits

“O*NET-linked” means O*NET assigns the task to the selected occupation. Other displayed posting-task links are reviewed or meet the public support threshold; support alone does not establish correctness.

How does filtering affect the results?

This selector compares benchmark recovery. Occupation recommendations and task examples elsewhere on this page retain the paper’s profiles. Candidate occupations and recommendation lengths are fixed across variants; RCA is recomputed for each profile.

Filter comparison. “No exclusions” restores occupation-task profile links; it does not remove the OSHA evidence review. The paper’s filters retain eligible unreviewed links and canonical assignments. An observation is a sampled job-month.

Representing occupations involves choices

The rankings above compare individual task-frequency profiles. Below, a complementary illustration shows tasks detected together within postings, pooled by occupation. These task-pair links do not enter the occupational-relatedness model.

Methods and public data access

Occupation rankings and aggregate statistics use the complete corrected research data. Identifiable tasks include each occupation’s O*NET-linked tasks, retained posting assignments accepted in completed review, and retained unreviewed assignments with support above 200 sampled job-months. Other assignments have not been reviewed; their task details are not released. The network includes only links between permitted tasks; this can change its connected components.

Anonymous cloud dots preserve the number of additional linked tasks, coarse size bands. Their positions are synthetic and do not encode task identity or relatedness. Individual IDs, statements, exact frequencies, and links for these dots are not distributed.

Similarities describe advertised work, not observed worker moves or a person’s qualifications. Sample units are job-months, not annual unique vacancies. Recorded .00 base profiles may include mechanically suffixed unspecified six-digit source labels; released aggregates cannot separate them. Missing released links are unknown. Six-digit maps sum only available released specialty links, leaving below-threshold pairs unobserved. See methods, attribution, and interpretation.
