Using Indeedy

This notebook uses indeedy (https://github.com/petebachant/Indeedy) to count the number of job postings for various keywords on Indeed.com.

Comparing jobs by title

Example: CAD software for mechanical engineers

We want to search for job postings that contain mechanical engineer and some other word—in this case, various types of CAD software, so we use the compare_jobs_title function. Using this method, we can assess the relative demand and value of various skills in the job market.

%matplotlib inline
import indeedy

# Create a list of CAD software names
cad = ["SolidWorks",
       "Catia",
       "Pro/ENGINEER",
       "Creo",
       "Unigraphics",
       "NX",
       "Inventor"]

# Search Indeed.com
njobs, salaries = indeedy.compare_jobs_title(cad, constant="mechanical engineer",
                                             location="")
indeedy.dual_bar_graph(cad, njobs, salaries)

Another example: Programming languages for scientists in California



In [2]:

    
language = ["Python",
            "C",
            "Java",
            "MATLAB",
            "LabVIEW",
            "FORTRAN"]

njobs, salaries = indeedy.compare_jobs_title(language, constant="scientist", location="CA")
indeedy.dual_bar_graph(language, njobs, salaries)

Comparing jobs by location

Example: Python programmers in various cities



In [3]:

    
locations = ["Boston",
             "Los Angeles",
             "Miami",
             "New York City",
             "Chicago",
             "San Francisco"]

njobs, salaries = indeedy.compare_jobs_loc("python programmer", locations)
indeedy.dual_bar_graph(locations, njobs, salaries)
