  7. A job-based assessment of economic complexity: from hidden to revealed arxiv.org/pdf/2507.05846
    "… develop a multipartite framework to connect four layers of nodes: #skills, #occupations, #industries, and US counties. From the skill-occupation network, we algorithmically compute an assessment of the economic #complexity, or fitness, of jobs. Then we compute our estimate of the complexity of industries by averaging the fitness values of the jobs active in a specific industry. Finally, the fitness of US counties is the sum of the complexity of the industries that operate in that territory.
    … approach has a number of advantages. First, it allows for a natural inclusion of services, a fundamental aspect that is often neglected in the economic complexity investigations because of data unavailability. Second, it permits the computation of the fitness of those counties with a small or null manufacturing activity. Third, it solves the numerical problems of the algorithmic assessments of the economic complexity indicators, namely the presence of very small values and the emergence of multimodal distributions. Even more importantly, the hidden complexity is positively associated with local economic #growth and predicts both wage levels and labor #productivity growth"

  9. The occupation Cornwall’s coat of arms forgot

    In the 1930s Cornwall County Council officially adopted its coats of arms – the 15 bezants topped by a chough and flanked by a fisherman and a miner, the iconic male occupations of the nineteenth century. Yet, by that time this representation was already far from reality. While the chough was heading for temporary extinction, the number of metal miners in Cornwall had fallen sharply since the early 1870s while fishing was mired in depression in the inter-war period.

    At its height in the mid-1800s miners had indeed comprised the largest occupational group, accounting for 30 per cent of men aged 15 to 69 in the 1861 census. But in second place in that year, at 24 per cent, came those working the surface land of Cornwall, farmers, farm labourers, carters, shepherds, ploughmen and the like. Although challenging mining to become the largest employment sector by the 1880s, farmers or their labourers did not make an appearance on the coat of arms.

    Although, unlike miners, found in every single Cornish parish, the presence of agriculturists varied considerably across the region. As the map below shows, the most agricultural parishes were located principally in north Cornwall, the least being the towns and the west. To some extent of course, we would expect this also to be a mirror image of the geography of mining, something that can be checked in the next blog.

  16. Women's #Occupations in #AncientRome

    While a married #Roman woman was focused on the “functioning of complex Roman households” (Nagle, 103), women who had achieved independence could own and manage their own “property just like males” (Rawson, 84).

    Women could also “apprentice” (Lefkowitz, 208) in certain occupations, become entertainers or prostitutes, or serve as priestesses – however, “lucrative trades (armaments, books, animals)” (Lefkowitz, 219) were dominated by men.

  18. Notable Women of #AncientEgypt: #Nebet

    Nebet (“Lady”), a Priestess of #Thoth (#Tehuti) was the “first recorded female #vizier in Ancient Egyptian history” during the late Old Kingdom of Egypt in the #SixthDynasty (#2300BC).

    The vizier was appointed by the Pharaoh, and the vizier’s “paramount duty was to supervise the running of the country, such as a prime minister, at times even small details of it such as sampling the city's water supply.”

    “All other lesser supervisors and officials, such as tax collectors and scribes, would report to the vizier.“

  23. Notable Women of #AncientEgypt: #Hatsheput

    Hatsheput (1479-1457 BCE), claimed the throne because she was the daughter of the late king “Thutmose I by his Great Royal Wife” (Watterson, 101), and not “a concubine” (Watterson, 101). Hatsheput’s reign was known for “great achievements” (Watterson, 101) both “#architectural and commercial” (Watterson, 101). Her most successful commercial venture was “an expedition by sea to Punt, probably located in the east Sudan bordering on northern Eritrea/Ethiopia” (Watterson, 101).

  24. Women's Occupations in #AncientEgypt

    “In ancient Egypt, formal education was not usually given to girls” (Watterson, 17). However, there is evidence that girls were formally educated, since women were “scribes and also priests, usually of a cult of a feminine deity” (Mark, 4).

    Women could work outside the home, and were “employed as weavers, bakers, brewers” (Mark, 6), and many other professions, including “estate owners” (Mark, 6). They could also be concubines, who were “accomplished in music, conversation, sewing, fashion, culture, religion, and the arts” (Mark, 6).

  25. Trust in #science down; trends worst in minorities, Republicans
    Pew Research Center showed drop is most pronounced for self-identified #Republicans and those without #college education. Despite decline, however, #scientists rank among most trusted #occupations in #US. From 2016-2021, portion of US residents who felt science had a mostly positive effect on society hovered within three points of 70%. As of 2023, it dropped to 57%. 8% say science has mostly negative impact!
