Context
The online job market is a good indicator of overall demand for labor in an economy. This dataset consists of 19,000 job postings from 2004 to 2015 posted on CareerCenter, an Armenian human resource portal. Since postings are text documents and tend to have similar structures, text mining can be used to extract features like posting date, job title, company name, job description, salary, and more. Postings that had no structure or were not job-related were removed. The data was originally scraped from a Yahoo! mailing group.
Inspiration
Students, job seekers, employers, career advisors, policymakers, and curriculum developers use online job postings to explore the nature of today’s dynamic labor market. This dataset can be used to:
- Understand the demand for certain professions, job titles, or industries
- Identify skills that are most frequently required by employers, and how the distribution of necessary skills changes over time
- Help education providers with curriculum development
