Abstract

A professional social networking system identifies occupations and locations of persons in a city from profiles of the persons in the system. For each city or neighborhood, identified occupation and industry, the system calculates different metrics of interpersonal connectivity and compares them to a model constructed with respect to average nation-wide trends. The system selects cities and neighborhoods as well as occupations and industries that over- or under-perform versus the given model and recommends actions for promoting the certain occupations and synergetic activities increasing connectivity within the city, thereby improving economic performance and labor market health of that particular city.
