About This Project

Background, methodology, data sources, and data verification.

Independent, non-official adaptation

  • This project has no affiliation with the Austrian government, any Austrian ministry, the AMS, WIFO, Statistik Austria, Eurostat, or any other official institution. It is an independent, private project by webconsulting.at.
  • No connection to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) — no BLS data is used. All data sources are European/Austrian.
  • Despite careful methodology and automated verification, errors may occur. The AI impact scores are qualitative assessments, not empirical measurements. This tool is not a substitute for professional labour market advice.

Austrian Adaptation

Andrej Karpathy developed the US Job Market Visualizer — treemap, data pipeline, and AI impact scoring rubric are his work. This is an Austrian adaptation with local data sources, occupation-based navigation, bilingual interface, and ISCO-08-based structure.

  • Employment → Eurostat lfsa_egai2d (EU Labour Force Survey / Mikrozensus-AKE) by ISCO-08
  • Salary → Statistik Austria VSE 2022, EUR gross annual incl. 13th/14th month
  • Industry → ÖNACE 2025 (NACE Rev. 2.1) as sectoral context
  • AI impact → Karpathy-compatible 0–10 rubric; qualitative, not empirical
  • Outlook 2023–2030 → WIFO/AMS Mittelfristige Beschäftigungsprognose (weighted NACE + ISCO growth)
  • Reproducibility → All data is Open Government Data. Pipeline is deterministic, no LLM at build time. 99 hypothesis-driven tests verify employment, pay, ISCO structure, AI exposure, and sector totals on every regeneration — including 13 that compare row-by-row against original Eurostat and VSE source data.

Technical stack: Next.js, TypeScript, shadcn/ui. Added features: occupation detail pages, ISCO major group overviews, ÖNACE sector context, AT-vs-US comparison, bilingual DE/EN interface, automated test suite. The entire codebase is open and reproducible.

Data Verification

99 hypothesis-driven tests verify employment, earnings, ISCO structure, AI exposure, and sector totals — including 13 tests that compare row-by-row against original Eurostat and Statistik Austria source data.
