Open data and the labor market: A study of vacancies in the forestry industry

Abstract

The article deals with a study of vacancies in the forestry industry, based on data from the “Work of Russia” portal. The study analyzes various job parameters such as company size, type of employment, work schedule and salary offered. Most of the vacancies were published in December 2023 and relate to the profession “Forester (senior state forest protection inspector)”. Offered salary is about 20 000-35 000 rubles a month. The majority of vacancies posted on the portal are posted by small companies (85.7%) and do not require previous work experience, but require full-time employment (95.1%) and a full-time work schedule (64.7%). The typology of vacancies based on the level of minimum and maximum wages showed that the optimal choice is to identify two clusters. The first cluster included vacancies with a salary of 40,000 rubles or more, the second cluster - with a salary less. This work is an example of the use of open data and can be used by employers and job seekers to make more informed decisions in the labor market.
