Motivation

Job analysis (also known as work analysis) is a family of procedures to identify the content of a job in terms of activities involved and attributes or job requirements needed to perform the activities. Job analysis provides information of organizations which helps to determine which employees are best fit for specific jobs. Through job analysis, the analyst needs to understand what the important tasks of the job are, how they are carried out, and the necessary human qualities needed to complete the job successfully.

About the Project

The process of job analysis involves the analyst describing the duties of the incumbent, then the nature and conditions of work, and finally some basic qualifications. After this, the job analyst has completed a form called a job psychograph, which displays the mental requirements of the job.[2] The measure of a sound job analysis is a valid task list. This list contains the functional or duty areas of a position, the related tasks, and the basic training recommendations. Subject matter experts (incumbents) and supervisors for the position being analyzed need to validate this final list in order to validate the job analysis

Data Preparation for Analysis

# Downloading data
ur.data<-fread("https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/la/la.data.1.CurrentS")

# Download series ids

ur.series<-fread("https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/la/la.series")

# subset data
ur.list<-ur.series[area_type_code =="A" &   #get states
                     measure_code == "3"  &   #get unemployment rate
                     seasonal == "S",         #get seasonally adjusted data
                   c("series_id","area_code","series_title"),
                   with=F]

## Get state names and area crosswalk
ur.area<-fread("https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/la/la.area",
               col.names=
                 c("area_type_code","area_code","area_text","display_level",
                   "selectable","sort_sequence"))                   

# merge data
ur.dt<-merge(ur.data,ur.list,by="series_id",all.y=T)

A job search currently gives in download.bls.gov results and provides lots of interesting information that we would like to capture.

Explanation

Job analysis aims to answer questions such as:

Why does the job exist? What physical and mental activities does the worker undertake? When is the job to be performed? Where is the job to be performed? Under What conditions it is to be performed?
