90% Informative

A new study has analyzed the French labor market using methods from statistical physics.

It found that over 90% of jobs today function as bottlenecks: they are easily accessible, but once entered, they become traps from which it is hard to move elsewhere.

Technology, lifestyle changes, migration, and other issues are rapidly transforming the labor market.

Knicker and his team are making their methodology available to anyone who wants to apply it to other contexts.

The study is only a first step. Knicker hopes to identify the occupations with the greatest potential to act as levers or bridges, facilitating people's movement from one job to another.
